He completed his studies of composition and orchestration at the Geneva Conservatory with P. Wissmer and A. Ginastera and in guitar performance with M.L.São Marcos.

He has taught at the Geneva Conservatory and the University of Southern California and is presently engaged by the San Francisco Conservatory.
