His interest in composition began when the Fox Valley Symphony asked him to compose a fanfare for four horns to open one of their subscription concerts in 2016. Subsequent compositions included a short string quartet, a work for solo horn, and piano accompaniments for several of the Belloli horn etudes. The Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano was composed in 2017 for his trio with violinist Yuliya Smead and pianist Eli Kalman.
