His style has been described as “beautifully ambient” with “smooth and rich dynamics” and “strong rhythmic vitality.”

His acclaimed percussion duet series, Motions, continues to be performed internationally and serves as a foundation for his broader compositional output, which has been featured by ensembles and organizations such as Sō Percussion Summer Institute, JACK Quartet, Sandbox Percussion, Catchfire Collective, the Charlotte New Music Festival, and many more. He has collaborated with many leading musicians and ensembles and has performed at venues including Carnegie Hall, National Sawdust, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall, and the Guangzhou Opera House.
