As a child I fell in love with the sweeping soundscapes and beautiful sounds in movies and video games. I found a passion for 70’s rock and roll and this drove me to start playing drums at a very young age. The piano came not long after. I’ve played in half a dozen bands, ranging from rock and roll to competitive jazz bands and anything in between. In my teen years I fell in love with electronic music and the wide varieties of sounds and styles it offers. More recently I’ve headlined many live shows and DJ sets throughout the west coast of America. Then I found my real passion working long hours composing and making crazy sounds in the studio as I began to explore audio production and game audio techniques. Since then I’ve composed and designed for countless projects and continue to further my love for the craft. I further honed my skills in audio production through acclaimed academies and programs (such as UCSC Advanced Electronic Music Program, Icon Collective and Indigital Studios, Santa Cruz). This has focused my skillset in music composition, sound design, recording, mixing, and mastering studio production across all platforms. As I said, music rules my world and gaming brings us all together. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
