Here’s to more artistry, more connection, and more music that moves us. 🎶💫 #MusicDirector #musictheater #conductor #pianist #musician #composer #broadwaymusical #westend #chicagomusic

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Gizmo. 15 years ago, he came to us as a little fur ball who could fit in the palm of your hand. He grew to develop a big personality. Some of our favorite times were on road trips which were mainly just 13-hour naps. I’ll always cherish my Gizzy cuddle time in the mornings. Thank you for being such a good boy. Now he gets to play with his sister, Binx, on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

This is especially for my singer/dancers. If you try this, I want to know what you notice about how it feels and sounds. #singer #musicaltheatre #voice

ALL ABOARD! I’m thrilled to return for the 4th time to serve as music supervisor for Norwegian Cruise Lines. After four weeks of land rehearsals in Tampa, I’ll be joining the NCL GEM for two weeks of installation in ITALY 🇮🇹! Our three shows to produce are the rootin’ tootin’ country music show, BLAZING BOOTS RELOADED, an elegant BROADWAY CABARET, and the Dancing with the Stars inspired IGNITE THE NIGHT. 🌟 One of my favorite parts of working with this company has been collaborating with artists from all over the world. They inspire me to think bigger. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with friends and making new ones. Cheers to an adventure! 🌎 🚢

When I think of what Chicago theater is at its very best, it is about championing new works, collaborative productions, daring store front theaters, storytelling from new voices, excellence, talent, and passion. I am honored to have a chance to shine a spotlight on this incredible community at the Jeff Awards ceremony celebrating non-equity theaters on Monday, March 23, 2026.

Come From Away tells the true story of a small community in Newfoundland who opened their homes and hearts to those whose airplanes were diverted on the morning of September 11, 2001. It will be a sobering honor to work on this production on the 25th anniversary at North Shore Music Theater just outside of Boston.
