He received most of his education in Colorado, earning a BM and an MA in piano performance from the University of Denver and later, a DMA in composition from the University of Colorado in Boulder. As an educator, in 1992 he won a Fulbright to teach at the Stenhus Gymnasium in Denmark for one year, and in 1996, he won the Colorado Teacher of the Year award for the state. During his tenure as Colorado’s representative, he met president Bill Clinton and has had many speaking engagements concerning education. He has worked with the Colorado Department of Education as well as the Colorado Education Association and has been a clinician and speaker at conventions and colleges. A passionate advocate for the arts, he feels that it is vital to keep the arts alive and active in our schools.
As a performer, he has presented recitals in both the United States and in Europe. A winner of numerous awards and competitions, his compositions have been published by the Danish firm Edition Egtved, Twin Elm Publishing, Emerson Music and most recently by Hal Leonard Music Publishers. He states that:
Nothing to me is more exciting than the premier of a new work, whether it be music or the publication of fine literature. It is only through the creative process wherein we have the chance to reach our potentials. Man is a creative force, an energy that is capable of light or darkness, of wonder or tragedy. We all need to discover, to seek the spiritual light that emanates around us and by creating beauty, share that precious gift with everyone.lihat lebih sedikit
