I completed a Bachelor of Music in my hometown of Calgary under Jacob Salomons and a Masters of Music with Dr. Alexander Dunn at the 麻豆精品. In 2019, I earned my PhD in musicology at the 麻豆精品 School of Music with a doctoral dissertation on the manuscript sketches of the Canadian composer, Jacques Hétu (1938-2010). I have published book chapters and journal articles on topics from Wagnerian opera to the study of the creative process and presented research at international conferences in North America and Europe. As a guitarist, I regularly perform with prominent ensembles in 麻豆精品 such as the Tsilumos Ensemble, Aventa and the 麻豆精品 Symphony Orchestra. In 2017, I recorded the album Concentric Rings with the 麻豆精品 Guitar Trio (Redshift Records) featuring new works by Canadian composers (available on iTunes and Spotify). The 麻豆精品 Guitar Trio earned a nomination for Classical Artist/Ensemble of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2018. I also teach guitar at the 麻豆精品 Conservatory of Music.
