About

My background spans touring, show calling, audio and video systems design, and commercial music production, allowing me to bridge creative vision with technical execution at a systems level. As an independent artist and producer, my work has generated 60+ million streams and been licensed in campaigns for brands including Apple, Google, Facebook, Adidas, Mountain Dew, and Crocs. I have also served as the primary voice of an animated spokesperson for a national online bank. Whether directing high-stakes productions or composing for screen and advertising, I focus on clarity, reliability, and creative impact. I’m currently exploring senior creative systems roles, as well as composition and voice opportunities for brands and media projects.
