I’m a creative music composer with a strong background in original composition, arrangement, and production. I’m a Grammy-nominated musician trusted to translate creative vision into polished, emotionally resonant music. I work independently and collaboratively, delivering broadcast-quality audio remotely using Logic Pro and meeting deadlines. As Founder & Artistic Director of the Austin Ukestra, I develop a multi-level ensemble program focused on musical depth, ensemble literacy, and long-term growth. I conduct rehearsals, arrange original works for mixed-ability ukulele ensembles, and lead performances with clarity and musical expression. I also teach private and group ukulele lessons, designing curricula that cultivate listening, rhythm, and ensemble awareness, and prepare students for collaborative music-making.
