Now

As 2025 winds down my film company Dreamers2Makers Films is simultaneously producing three music focused documentary films.

In 2024 I produced my first “MasterClass + Festival” for Eastern New Mexico University. This project is a case study for the NFP entity Assignment Universe.

In 2022 I co-produced with drummer Brady Blade Annie Benjamin’s latest music album Night Bird. Dreamer2Makers Films also produced a min-documentary about her recording sessions and the legendary Texas musicians that played on the album. Annie is my life partner and creative muse.

My 2021 Dallas Symphony Orchestra film collaboration “A Song for Ruth '' is the debut project for my film production company Dreamers2Makers Films.

In 1996 I was hired by the Omninote Communications Company and within one year I was appointed technical manager. Omninote is the modern incarnation of Telautograph Corporation, one the oldest communications companies in the world. The Omninote technology is a messaging system that foreshadowed contemporary instant messaging. I balanced my day job with personal creative work including international piano performances and music composition. These creative projects garnered attention from regional press and Grammy winning musicians and engineers. As a result of these accolades I decided to go back into music composing/performance and creative design full time in 2006.

In 1985 I graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree and in 1993 earned an Associate Applied Science in Electronics degree. In the years between those two university experiences I toured as a musician specializing in classical and jazz piano. At the same time I was co-winner of the American Collegiate Talent Showcase Bronze Prize as the result of my music partnership with saxophonist Mitch Paliga.

My life's work is music, film, writing, education, audio/electronic engineering, programming, and education advocacy.

I build stuff and make music.
