About the artist

I'm a software engineer. Basically, I'm computer geek who loves to solve problems. I have been developing
software for the last 25+ years but have recently rekindled my love of music. I am relearning the piano and
my first love; the pipe organ. I am active in our church (the Sierra Vista United Methodist Church:
(http://www.lovesvumc.com/lovesvumc/Welcome.html) and am eager to provide spiritual sustenance such
as harp, organ and handbells arrangements.

Many of my scores are posted with individual parts and matching play-along however, this is not always
practical. If you would like individual parts to any of my scores or other specific tailoring, please contact me
directly and I will try to accomodate your specific needs.

on this one work: the Opus 68 march, the Entrance of the
Gladiators (Vjezd gladiátorů), which is universally
recognized, often under the title Thunder and Blazes, as one of
the most popular theme tunes... (more online)
