My musical education began at an early age: my parents claim that I could sing along to every Beatles song by the age of three. My formal training (such as it was) in classical music began with piano lessons at age six, because I wanted to be just like my kindergarten teacher. During high school, I played keyboards in a cover band called the Planetary Buzz and the jazz band. During my freshman year at Williams College, when I found out that I wanted to become a composer rather than, for example, a biochemical engineer. I wrote my first relatively un-bad piece during my junior year, and ended up studying composition with Lewis Spratlan, Robert Suderburg, David Kechley, and Karl Korte, receiving my B.A. in Music in 1998. I have since received an M.M. and G.D. in Music Composition from New England Conservatory, where I studied with Michael Gandolfi. I have also fought in the trenches for the cause of new music, having been General Manager of Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble for nearly four years. I am currently living in Boston with my wife and cat. A superb Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band player, I was named Time's Person of the Year in 2006. I currently work as a Composer / Sound Designer for Harmonix Music Systems.
