I’m a five-time Emmy Award–winning, classically trained composer and orchestrator working across cinema, concert music, and recorded media. My work spans everything from high-energy sports production to major international broadcast events, where I craft music that supports storytelling, emotion, and pace. In addition to composing, I’ve spent years preparing and synchronizing music for film work, including NFL Films, and I enjoy collaborating with ensembles and producers to bring music to life on screen and in concert settings. I also build my workflow around modern notation and audio tools, including Sibelius, Dorico, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Reaper, and Wwise, while staying grounded in strong classical technique.
