NOTES ABOUT WORK Found! is a collection of gestures and conversations concerning notions of being both “lost” and “found.” This work came to be because of an out of town visit where I did not see my wife or infant daughter for an entire month. I have used this longing as a motivation in this piece; so much of my identity is found my role in my family. I present music monologues and dialogues pertaining to selfidentity, what we are and are not with or without loved ones, and what is meant by being home.

Recent activities include performances and lecture presentations at Fresh Inc. Festival, New Music Gathering, Northwestern University New Music Conference, and the North American Saxophone Alliance International Conference.
