About Me

Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a musical household, taking piano lessons from my mom as a kid—though, at the time, I wanted nothing more than to be outside playing. It wasn’t until I discovered the scores of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars that I truly fell in love with music. I’d replay my favorite scenes over and over, captivated by the soundtracks and the emotions they evoked. That obsession led me to pick up the guitar at 14, diving deep into my rock phase and forming a band with my friends. As I chased music through high school, songwriting and composing became my way of processing life. I began blending orchestral elements with heavy rock, creating what I’d later recognize as my first steps toward cinematic composition. That fusion of storytelling and sound shaped my journey into film, TV, and game scoring.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of composing music for a variety of projects—from indie films to major network placements on NBC, TNT, and ESPN. One of the most meaningful experiences in my journey was scoring the documentary Unseen, a project that deeply resonated with me. Seeing how music can enhance a story and create an emotional connection is what drives me, whether it's for a film, a game, or a piece that finds its way into someone’s life.

I love the challenge of finding the right sound for each project. Every film, game, or piece of media has its own identity, and my goal is to create music that enhances and elevates it. Whether it's hybrid orchestral scores in the style of Dune and Inception or something entirely new, I thrive on crafting immersive soundscapes that transport audiences to another world.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll probably find me deep into a film, analyzing how the cinematography and music shape the story. I’m also a huge hockey fan—there’s something about the raw emotion and energy of sports that inspires the way I approach composition. And if you ever need a Rocket League teammate, I’m your guy.

At the end of the day, I want people to know that I’m just a passionate creative who loves storytelling through music. I work hard, I love collaborating, and I believe that great projects come from great connections. If you’re looking for someone to bring your vision to life, I’d love to be a part of it.
