I have been involved in musical endeavors since I was six years old, when I started piano lessons. Since then, I have gained around 20 years of playing experience, earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Commercial Music, and a Master’s Degree in Orchestral Conducting, both from Brigham Young University, and have had orchestrations and arrangements debuted by various musicians and ensembles. Recently, I wrote an orchestration of Marshall McDonald and Steven Sharp Nelson’ piece “Tender Mercies,” which was premiered by Lyceum Philharmonic during their summer music festival.
