| Introduction | I am very curious (in more than one way). I am in quest of discovering how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. I hold an AS in Music and a BA in Humanities with a focus on literature and history from classical antiquity and the medieval era. I still have so much more to explore in those areas. But for now I will return to studying music, emphasizing composition and songwriting. If I had all the time in the world (and money), I would probably major in several more disciplines. I utilize my study of the humanities to fuel and give context to my creative ideas, whether I'm composing a novel, a symphonic poem, or a blog post. I hope to ultimately lead my audience to a sense of their potential as human beings, as children of God. I love the desert, mountains, and the smell of rain. I love my family and friends, quirks and all. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints |
