Music

I've been deeply passionate about music my entire life. Since tinkering with a toy piano as a child, I immediately made connections between music, math, and eventually engineering. Lately, I've spent much of my time heavily involved with barbershop music.

Over the years, I've composed, arranged, and transcribed for wind ensembles, pit orchestras, quartets, and and choirs.  I've listed several of these below with the year I arranged them (later arrangements are significantly more mature). Anything marked with an asterisk (*) is an original composition.
