His recent compositions have been focused on the environment as well as political and philosophical issues, with the sound world inhabiting a space somewhere between minimalism and post-progressive rock with dashes of polystylism.

He is an assistant professor at FSU where he teaches percussion lessons and ensemble, composition lessons and courses, and various courses within the music industry track.
