Welcome to my (new) website.

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

Articles of mine regularly appear in the pages of  The American Conservative (where I’m a Contributing Editor), The New Criterion, Chronicles Magazine, Modern Age, The University Bookman, The New American, National Observer (Australia), Oriens (Australia), Annals Australasia, and other periodicals.

My music is published by Wirripang, Wollongong, New South Wales. Three compositions by me are now on a CD from this firm, called Simply Songs (2004).

A short choral work of mine, O Salutaris Hostia, received its première on May 29, 2005, in San Francisco, performed by the Schola Cantorum of the National Shrine of St Francis of Assisi. On the following August 21, Tantum Ergo (a companion piece to O Salutaris Hostia) received its première, with the St Mary’s Singers, in Sydney’s St Mary’s Cathedral. On August 2, 2009, a little chamber piece by me (for violin, viola, and piano) received its first performance in Sydney: Valse Oubliée.
