As an integral part of being dedicated to instruments of our time (the modern marimba + computer), I am also dedicated to the music of our time - making a great effort to commission, perform, compose, and record new
works. In particular, I am interested in works that utilize three-dimensional, high-definition (24bit/96kHz), computer-generated sound projection.

I perform with a rig that seamlessly melds my instrument with electronics, computers, and an eight-channel (+ subwoofer) cube of loudspeakers - a performance concept that I call modern marimba3 (superscript "3" i.e.cubed). With this equipment, I am able to project and move sound anywhere in the performance space, totally immersing the
audience in the music. In fact, the computer-generated sounds relate quite well to the visual arts in that concepts of objecthood and spatial structure become a part of the musical fabric.

In 2006, my debut solo album was released on Albany Records. This recording, a hybrid multi-channel super audio CD entitled PRECIPICE, contains new and recent music by living American composers, including works I recently commissioned.

I was born in 1978 in Madison, Wisconsin. I studied at the Eastman School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music (London), and privately with marimbist Leigh Howard Stevens.
