One of my piano students made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2026. Rushil Yeluri won the American Protege International Competition with his performance of the Tuba Concerto by Edward Gregson. The audition video and piano accompaniment was performed/produced by my friend and colleague Benjamin Loeb. Rushil studied brass with Jung Moo Lee of the Dallas Asian Winds. Rushil started piano lessons when he was in early elementary school and his extraordinary culmination of hard work comes about in his high school senior year. When I relocated to New Mexico during the COVID period, Rushil continued remote piano studies with me as I converted my brick and mortar music education business into a global virtual operation. I was able to facilitate Rushil’s ultimate success with the help of professionals around the globe.

Grammy nominee (2026) Benjamin Loeb and I are now collaborating together to record one of my orchestral compositions, Blues For Sagan, with the Lviv National Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. The composition Blues For Sagan is the second movement from my suite Poetry of Earth and Sky and was orchestrated by Micah Hood. Recordings will take place in Lviv, Ukraine in late 2026 and the musical journey I’m taking to Ukraine will also give me the opportunity to meet with my Ukrainian film documentary team.

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. In 2026 Dreamers2Makers Films filmed Annie Benjamin again in a “live in studio” concert performance in Santa Fe, New Mexico at Engine70 studio with guitarist Randy Sanchez.

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.
