Available to hire
I am a composer, arranger, orchestrator, and multi-instrumentalist based in Venice, Florida, with more than 20 years of experience across film, television, educational publishing, live performance, and collaborative arts production. I thrive on partnering with directors, choreographers, publishers, producers, and performing artists to craft hybrid orchestral textures and cinematic soundscapes that support storytelling across cinematic, contemporary, jazz, Americana, and commercial styles.
My work spans feature film scoring, original music for nationally distributed educational media, and touring performances. I enjoy the blend of studio production and live embodiment of music, continuously exploring new ways to fuse traditional orchestration with modern production techniques.
