I am a composer and musician based in the Glasgow, Scotland. Born in Central Kentucky, I studied music at Guilford College in North Carolina and spent a large chunk of the 1990s touring in bands. Around 2003, I moved to Glasgow, Scotland to study composition with Bill Sweeney. Since then I have gained a PHD in composition and have taught numerous music subjects at the University of Glasgow and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. I am now a lecturer at the University of Glasgow. I write music for a variety of instrumental and electronic forces.
