excellence by design.
ABOUT
For six years, I served as the inaugural Percussion Caption Head and Arranger at Battle High School and its feeder middle school. Here I learned the value of combining composition, education and performance to create a meaningful experience for my students. I understand that these three components must work together to take an idea and turn it into a successful performance. Instead of focusing on medals and trophies, I focus on personal growth and how excellence in design can translate to excellence in performers.
I create music that allows teachers to give their students meaningful band experiences.
I'M A COMPOSER, ARRANGER AND DESIGNER BASED IN DALLAS, TEXAS.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have many opportunities to share my talents and continue learning. I’ve received multiple awards from the University of Missouri New Music Initiative, performed as a member of the 2009 Macy’s Great American Marching Band and performed as a front ensemble member of Gateway Indoor in 2015. I’ve composed, arranged and designed for percussion, marching band and contemporary chamber ensembles. I received an Associates of Arts degree from Columbia College and spent two years studying Composition at the University of Missouri before pursuing a full-time career as a Firefighter and Paramedic.

“I couldn’t imagine designing my school’s fall competitive marching band show without Shaun’s assistance. As my school’s batterie and front ensemble composer he is meticulous in customizing each member’s part to ensure everyone is challenged and set up for success. Unlike many percussion arrangers who write overbearing percussion books, Shaun’s writing is always obtainable for students while complementing the overall show. His ability to integrate sound design into the front ensemble parts fills a void many wind arrangers and show designers have regarding the integration of electronics into the overall show design. He also makes himself available during marching season to troubleshoot unforeseen glitches and issues that popup regarding electronics.”
