I'm an experienced and award-winning composer in film and media, with a deep mastery of music theory, orchestration, and performance. I thrive on crafting scores that heighten emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling, and I bring reliable collaboration and clear communication to every project. My work spans feature-length horror and psychological thrillers, where sound design and musical storytelling are essential to the cinematic experience. In addition to composing, I teach guitar through The School of Feedback Guitar, and I engage in ongoing exploration of acoustics, mixing, mastering, and audio engineering. I work daily with Cubase and Ableton Live, and I continually expand my craft as a lifelong learner.
