I’m a U.S.-based composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist creating cinematic, emotionally driven music for film, television, animation, branded media, and live productions.
My work includes feature films, short films, animated series, educational publishing projects, and commercial media, with a focus on music that supports story, atmosphere, and emotional pacing while remaining collaborative and adaptable to each project’s creative direction.
After more than a decade working in Nashville’s touring and production community — including national touring as a keyboardist and saxophonist with the platinum-selling band Sister Hazel — I continue to collaborate remotely with filmmakers, producers, editors, and creative teams across the U.S.
My composition work ranges from orchestral and hybrid cinematic scoring to intimate piano-driven themes, ambient textures, and broadcast-ready production music. Whether developing thematic material for narrative film, animation, documentary storytelling, or branded content, I aim to create music that enhances emotion, pacing, and narrative momentum without overpowering the scene.
I value clear communication, creative flexibility, and dependable delivery throughout the production process, and I’m comfortable working within both highly collaborative environments and independently managed remote workflows.
