Biography

Active professional musician in Chicago since 1999. Currently musical director of a 50+ piece orchestra and regularly compose and arrange for a variety of ensembles across multiple genres. Launched a scoring business in summer '09 and have already composed for a major video game, as well as bid on ad spots for Fortune 500 Companies. My band, Detholz!, was handpicked by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco to open for them on their Grammy-award winning "Ghost is Born" tour in 2006-2007 as a result of being featured in the documentary film, "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?"
