He has received residencies at many artist colonies, including the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo, and lectured at colleges and conservatories both in the US and abroad. He is a graduate of Michigan State University and Indiana University and was for several years a professional orchestral bassist before switching his emphasis to composition. He has taught in Texas, Indiana and Michigan and is Professor of Composition and Music Theory at the University of Louisville School of Music where, in addition to his teaching duties, he directs the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition. He draws his inspiration from various sources, including nature, his travels, life events, politics, and, as this release demonstrates, art.
