MAKING AUDIENCES
feel deeply immersed in the experience is vital
Born and raised in Hollywood, I’ve been drawn to the emotional power of music in storytelling since the first time I heard John Williams’ Superman score. That obsession led me to piano, guitar, playing in rock bands on the Sunset Strip — and eventually to a Master’s in Music from USC. I’ve been composing for film, television, and trailers ever since.
I specialize in hybrid orchestral scoring — blending cinematic textures with modern sound design, synths, and unexpected instruments to create music that heightens drama and deepens immersion. Whether I’m working on a gripping documentary, a stylized indie film, an AAA trailer, or a high-energy broadcast theme, my goal is always the same: find the unique sonic fingerprint that makes each story come alive.
Recent work includes original music for HBO’s Perry Mason, NBC’s Indy 500, FOX’s Pro Bowling, and the documentary Hard Twist, as well as trailer music for Jack Ryan, Disney’s Jungle Book, NCIS, and several award-winning art films.
My approach is creative, collaborative, and rooted in deep musical craft — influenced by composers like James Horner, Ravel, and Arvo Pärt, and bands like Metallica and Bad Religion. The spirit of the 80s runs through my sound, as does a deep respect for melody, mood, and movement.
I deliver on tight turnarounds and love collaborating with directors, game developers, and editors to make unforgettable moments.
