As a composer and performer I love the collaborative process. I have always played the role of a supporting cast member, rarely in the spotlight, and I love to use my skills to draw attention to the focal point. Whether that focal point is the plot of a movie or the front man in a band I enjoy the way in which artistic visions meet and sometimes collide on the way towards art.

My main focus is as a film composer and orchestrator. Film directors and fellow composers both challenge me in new ways on every project, and I enjoy film related work immensely. Related to this I arrange and orchestrate for bands on occasion, bringing a sophisticated orchestral sound into the pop/rock world. I have done this both for live tours and album recording projects. I am also a contributing composer for a few different production music libraries for film and television.

To support those services I also run a music engraving and music copyist business and have produced manuscripts for many major music publishers, performing groups, and scoring sessions. Music preparation and proof reading is a detailed and critical part of the writing process, and I love the way a beautiful and graceful score looks on the page. I'm happy to do transcriptions, arrangements, score and parts prep, librarian work, or any other kind of music prep that is necessary.

My recording studio is in Torrance, CA, where I write and produce most of my film scores. It can accommodate mid size recording sessions and has a 1906 grand piano, a 1943 Hammond B3 organ, custom preamps, HD gear, sophisticated sampling capabilities, and all the other trappings of modern studios.
