In addition, I’ve composed and released six solo albums, including “Make Your Point”, “Training the Beagle” and “Next Time Around” I’ve also contributed several original songs to charity Christmas albums, including "You Don't Know What I Want" for the "Santa Cause" collection to benefit Children's Hospital.

I've written music for and produced over a dozen books-on-tape for various publishers, such as Simon and Schuster, Houghton Mifflin, Penguin Books and Random House. The authors I've worked with include Bailey White, Andrei Codrescu and Jeanne Dixon.
In addition, as an independent music producer and composer, I've written theme and piece music for numerous television and radio projects. Clients include National Public Radio, CBS Television, IMAX, The National Park Service and Lucasfilm, Ltd.

In the Spring of 2005, I composed the soundtrack for the National Park Service film “On the Edge of Land and Sea” (NPS Productions).
