About

Award winning audio professional with over 15 years experience.

Was recently working as audio director with Romero Games Ltd. in Galway. Currently looking for new job opportunities.

Before that, my last freelance audio work was on ‘Empire Of Sin’ by Romero Games and Paradox Interactive. I wrote the theme music, and a lot of the background music in the game, and also produced all the VO.

Check out ‘Cardpocalypse’ by Gambrinous (Versus Evil), I directed and produced all of the audio for that game, and I’m delighted to say, that it won Imirt’s ‘Best Game Audio’ of 2019! :) The announcement trailer link is below.

I also work as a freelance touring musician with the Grammy award-nominated band Celtic Woman.

As well as this, I’ve composed music for ‘The Little Acre’ by Pewter Games, and the ‘Guild of Dungeoneering’ franchise by Gambrinous on their ‘Ice Cream Headaches’ DLC.

Specialties: Composing, sound design, VO production, FMOD, guitar, sight reading, songwriting, recording, mixing, arranging, and orchestrating.
