Raised by the Texas hill country, college educated by Southern California, toughened up by the East Coast, and currently being delighted by the San Francisco Bay Area, I consider myself pretty well-rounded and inspired by many kinds of stories. I started music as a kid drumming in church and have since worked with professional orchestras, commercial studios, and award-winning filmmakers. My heroes span from Johnny Cash to John Williams to Jean Sibelius, and I aim to keep working on projects that are meaningful and have an impact.
I compose concert works and film scores, I make arrangements for ensembles of all kinds, I produce and collaborate with artists, and I write songs for genres ranging from country to musical theater.
