Composing Music

Music has always had a positive effect on me.  Playing my trombone in band while growing up, I noticed some music was always enjoyable, yet, other music provided little pleasure no matter how many times it was played.  I wondered why this was.  When my friends and i started a mariachi band in high school I tried writing arrangements that would somehow feel ‘enjoyable’ to play and then began writing original music that would do the same.  To this day, I write music for the sake of creating positive effects for others.  I hope you may enjoy listening to and/or performing my music.
