Blue Cross Blues
A mini-musical I wrote with Ed Levy that was performed at Lincoln Center on October 23, 2017 as part of the 'Across a Crowded Room' program. The show was re-recorded in 2020 and turned into a podcast by IndieWorks Theatre Company. The podcast stars Lance Roberts, Karen Mason, Ann Harada, and Alan H. Green, with Andy Roninson and Sierra Rein.
The Mask and Wig Club, founded in 1889, is the oldest all-male collegiate musical comedy troupe in the United States. I've been providing music, lyrics, and orchestrations for the club's productions since 1986.
Musical Theater
In addition to my work with The Mask and Wig Club, I've written a few musicals and been involved in other musical projects.

Not my own project obviously, but one I was heavily involved in. I'm listed as the "Sequencing Engineer". I'm the one playing
all the notes for
all the parts on the recording.
Computer Software
Though I no longer work full time as a software engineer, there are still times when I need to dust off the old programmer hat. Some problems require a software solution.
