After a long career of administrative and academic work, I've decided that perhaps it's the time in my life in which I should begin exploring all facets of my creativity to their fullest potentials. One of my biggest creative interests is songwriting - something I have always wanted to do, but had never done publicly... until now. With a life-long love of music (and a record collection serving as one of my most prized possessions), I wanted to begin looking for ways to get the songs I hear in my head to a wider audience. I've recorded several songs for my YouTube channel, and have now begun writing a musical based on a screenplay I wrote some years ago. While I am still very new to the idea of writing music for the world to hear, it is something I am very eager to explore further.
