I am a multi-instrumentalist and Media Composer with 25+ years of experience in the Film, Television & Music landscape. My goal is the same as yours, to collaborate with you in creating the perfect sonic story that aligns seamlessly with the visual narrative and emotional arc of your project. Character, story and feeling always determine my musical writing decisions, instrumentation choices and stylistic direction.

  I come from a long paternal line of drummers, so I’ve been playing percussion and drums since I can remember.  In my early teens my musical education continued with piano and guitar, trumpet in orchestra and eventually just about any instrument I could get my hands on. As soon as I graduated high school, I hit the road touring with various bands and wasn’t looking much beyond that, musically speaking, in my youthful naivety.

   Playing in bands never ended for me, but the universe took me on an adventure with many branches. Those paths involved working at a record label, which led to directing and editing music videos, which then led to a 20-year career in film and video production and editing. In a roundabout way, this led me right back to music composition and scoring. When a co-worker, the director of a feature length documentary, asked me to compose some original music for his film, I found myself right back where I started, and I felt like I had come home.

   I now work on a diverse array of projects ranging from scoring films to writing original compositions for national broadcast commercials, television shows and game music.

   I embrace the notion that the most remarkable outcomes often arise from unexpected avenues. Often through experimenting with unique palettes of instrumentation, I try to uncover fresh and exciting musical possibilities, pleasant surprises and happy accidents that ultimately serve whatever story we are telling.
