In 1980, at the age of twenty, he began his work as a vocalist and composer, releasing his first major studio recording, "Into the Light," in 1987. He has since that time produced six other recordings of original music including his most recent title, "Already Shining." His compositions have been performed and recorded by several artists including the highly acclaimed Mt. Madonna Choir and singer-songwriter Kathy Zavada.
