After graduating, he returned to his hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and began writing scores for TV. His work was included in episodes of Incredible Story Studio, 2030 CE, and My Global Adventure. He also wrote a forty-five minute orchestral background score for the Titanic exhibit at the Maryland Science Center. He is currently working on a suite of pieces that combine jazz and world music, through a grant from the Saskatchewan Arts Board.
