In addition to coaching and singing, I've enjoyed writing songs for years,  a number of which have been featured on television, in film, and on recordings by artists in a variety of genres.  My song “If You Ask Me To” was a finalist in the American Idol Songwriting Competition, and I wrote lyrics for a Musical Theater project as well as a new American Song Cycle entitled “The Journey” with Mark O’Connor.  Most recently, my song "Painted" was released on Emma Sophina's Decca/Universal Records 2009 project: "Miracle"

Samples of some recent works are below, as are excerpts from my latest live recording.
