In addition to teaching at NIU, I am a Buffet Clarinets Artist/Clinician.

I have performed and given research presentations at many ClarinetFests of the International Clarinet Association, for which I am editor of music reviews.

I have performed with many orchestras in the United States including the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. I have played regularly in several groups in the Chicago area, most recently the Ars Viva Symphony Orchestra.

I enjoy composing and arranging works for clarinet. 

• Breitkopf & Härtel: reconstruction of the chamber ensemble version of Jean Sibelius’s "En Saga Septet."
• Billaudot Éditeur: "24 Clarinet Etudes from the World," "Weimar Klezmer Trio" and "The Three Shepherds Rock" (with apologies to Franz Schubert).
• Fennica Gehrman: chamber ensemble arrangement of "Nachtlieder" by Esa-Pekka Salonen.
• Edition Wilhelm Hansen: arrangement for clarinet and piano of Carl Nielsen’s "Chaconne" op. 32.
• OR-TAV Music Publications: "Klezmer Suite" for clarinet choir and "Oyfbli & Oyf tish un oyf benk (Flowering & It was a Grand Old Time)" for solo clarinet with wind band.
