I'm a composer only by hobby and a researcher by profession. I was taught how to play the guitar back in my home country of Nicaragua by an elderly man. During the post-war years, he taught me much but sadly he passed away before he could embark all his knowledge to me. However, he gave me his guitar and when I came to America, it became my prized item. His love for music gave me motivation to succeed in it, but it was never my true calling.

During college, i tried to triple major in math, physics, and music and I pulled it off successfully for a two years. However, once I started to take 300 level courses in all three of my majors, it became too much. I picked my passion and stuck with math and physics.

A lot of my music has been performed, but i don't think it is because i'm extremely talented. I think it is because I know many people. I write in many styles, but I rarely write with an orchestra. At least, not anymore. There was a time when I did but those days are gone. I'm not content writing "mindless" music, because I find writing good music that sounds nice to me, is more important than what everyone views the music to be.
