He has received five NEA grants, an Opera America IDEA Grant, and Opera America New Works Development Grant, among other distinctions. His works have received rave reviews from major publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Opera News, and Boston Globe.

His opera I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams has been performed multiple times throughout the United States and México. Alice In The Pandemic, written during lockdown, is a groundbreaking work that features synchronized remote singers, animation, and motion capture, and has the special distinction of being archived in the Library of Congress as part of their Pandemic Response Collection.
