due to the singular orchestrations…”
– The Chicago Tribune
on Damn Yankees (2023)

The Music Man @ The Marriott
I had a blast scoring this bang-beat, great-go, neck-or-nothin’, every-time-a-bull’s-eye musical for Chicago’s acclaimed Marriott Theatre!
Damn Yankees @ The Marriott
My orchestrations for Damn Yankees got a special shout-out in the Tribune! Thanks, Mr. Jones! Of course, it helps to have an all-star team with music director Ryan Nelson and conductor Noah Landis.
Eleven O’Clock Number – the album
Back to Before! Meadowlark! A song from Passion?! This project was a dream.
Northwestern’s Waa-Mu Show!
As a conductor, music director, vocal arranger, orchestrator, and copyist, I helped create four incredible student-written musicals, making friendships that will last a lifetime.
