Creating musical experiences that engage audiences and enrich communities.

Musician & Arts Leader

I am an organist, conductor, collaborative pianist, arts leader, and more based in Charleston, West Virginia. My work encompasses solo recital performance, sacred music, choral and instrumental conducting, musical theatre, and arts administration, with appearances in churches, concert halls, and historic venues in the United States and abroad.
Alongside my performing career, I serve as Director of Music and Organist at First Presbyterian Church in Charleston, where I oversee a comprehensive music ministry. This site features upcoming performances and information for presenters, collaborators, and organizations interested in engaging my work.

Areas of Work

Sacred Music

From weekly worship to festival services and concert presentations, sacred music remains at the heart of my work. I am committed to creating meaningful worship through thoughtful and creative organ playing, choral leadership, and carefully curated repertoire that draws on the rich musical traditions of the church.

Musical Theatre

Musical theatre combines storytelling and collaboration in a uniquely engaging art form. My work includes musical direction, conducting, accompaniment, and vocal coaching, bringing productions to life while supporting performers and creating memorable experiences for audiences.

Orchestration & Arranging

Every arrangement begins with the needs of the performers and the story the music is meant to tell. I create custom orchestrations, vocal arrangements, and instrumental adaptations that are practical to perform, idiomatic for each ensemble, and crafted to enhance dramatic impact.

Music That Inspires Every Occasion

With experience in performance, conducting, and artistic collaboration, I bring a thoughtful and versatile approach to every musical project. My goal is to create meaningful performances that connect with audiences and enrich every occasion.
