About

I compose soundtracks for film, TV, and video games. My scores are featured on shows such as Personal Space on Prime Video and short films such as The Long Dig. I am a frequent attendee of Global Game Jams where I collaborate with creators to put music and sound to video games. I am adept at using digital audio workspaces as well as facilitating live sessions and coaching musicians for recordings; I can also transcribe sheet music as needed. Presently, I am collaborating with a small team of video game developers in the Pittsburgh area, but I’m always eager to explore new opportunities!

I created the atmospheric soundtrack to The Long Dig, a post apocalyptic sci-fi short film about a group of scavengers scouring a ruined urban landscape for technological remnants amid a toxic, hallucinogenic mist. The soundtrack features a quartet-style string score over a backdrop of deep, desolate synths and electric guitar.

I wrote the title theme and soundtrack for TV Trope’s web series, Echo Chamber (click the link to watch). The soundtrack often evolved from episode to episode, to suit the gimmicks behind the “trope of the week”—cool sax and jazz kits for the noir episode, surreal bells and dooming electronics for the interdimensional episode, etc—but typical orchestrations consisted of simple piano and keyboard driven leitmotifs. Meanwhile, the show’s main theme rocks the way only a hard ensemble of guitars, saw-tooth synth waves, a vibraphone, and rhythmic record scratches ever could.
