I am a composer for film, television, and interactive media. Ranging from intimate piano and small string ensembles, to bombastic orchestras and synthesizers, I blend ambient hybrid soundscapes with the modern cinematic orchestral style of today, creating immersive, emotionally resonant scores. I have been a bassist and guitarist in numerous bands over the years, ranging from post-rock to metal, and am a self-taught pianist. In 2020, I was a composer-for-hire with 14th Street Music. Under the leadership of Lorne Balfe, I composed and orchestrated music for Showtime's 'The Reagans' mini-series. Since 2020, I have written scores for dozens films, commercials, and library productions, with placements with Universal, Warner Bros, FIFA World Cup, and Formula 1. I am also a professional photographer and videographer, with a unique understanding of an audience's cinematic experience. I studied Education at The Ohio State University from 2013-2017, and Music Production at Full Sail University from 2017-2018.
