About

My path towards music began in high school jazz band and continued through my collegiate studies at Kennesaw State University as well as my graduate studies at the University of South Florida.

Overtime I began experimenting with live sound, field recordings, and producing my own audio and music. This has led me to opportunities scoring for: short film, video, Halloween attractions, podcast music, and more.
