In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was about 11, I was snuck into the Detroit Symphony's concert featuring John Williams conducting his music. I didn't have a seat, but an usher graciously allowed me to stand in the mezzanine for the show. That is 3 hours I will never forget! What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? One of my most memorable moments is working on Hummie Mann's score to "The Automat." He was my masters degree professor; he taught me how to compose and orchestrate, so helping bring his music to life was a full-circle moment that won't be forgotten.
