There he was awarded departmental honors and the outstanding music student award as well as frequently performing and premiering works on the Piccolo Spoleto Jazz Series. Shortly thereafter, he developed an interest in computer-based music and sound leading to many multi-media projects including Variations on a Dream, a fifteen movement suite in collaboration with film artist Kevin Taylor which was featured on the Seattle-based television program The American Avant-Garde and Quid Pro Quo, a collaborative effort with Matt Smithson, Daniel Offinger and Kevin Hackler that won an honorable mention in Stash DVD magazine.
