EYE OF THE STORM: LIVE PERFORMANCE I've been lucky enough to have my music appear on some pretty cool stuff. From the Stanley Cup Finals to the UFC. But honestly I couldn't think of anything more meaningful than having been asked by an Iowa High School Music Director if a song of mine could be used for their Jazz Show Choir concert. The thoughtful rearrangement and the exuberant performance these kids pulled off is a career highlight for sure.

BALLY SPORTS NETWORK THEME MUSIC DEBUTS Game On! I am happy to announce the debut of my Brand Theme Music for the BALLY SPORTS NETWORK, which launched April 1. The piece, entitled "Roaring To Go", is a modern cinematic-rock anthem that will accompany NHL, MLB, NBA games and more, and exists across multiple arrangements tailored to Hockey, Baseball, Basketball and beyond. Hopefully it will be hummed and whistled for years to come.
