About

One of my mentors and I have long enjoyed sharing a laugh about how every bio in the world seems to open with or at least include the phrase “award-winning,” and so I’m going to endeavor to skate past that and instead engage in a bit of story-telling.

When I was young, the piano was my gateway into music, first and foremost as a way to engage with the tunes that underpinned my favorite moments in the movies and games I was growing up with. I was captivated by the way music could capture emotion, and even as the details of a scene might fade from memory, the intensity of that feeling could be kindled anew just by hearing those notes one more time. My academic career was a mix of composition and performance study, but I eventually received my Masters in Performance and then relocated to Los Angeles to participate in the film scoring scene.

I eventually found my way into the business or orchestrating music for film, TV, and video games, both as part of larger teams led by award-winning (sorry Tim) composer and orchestrator Tim Davies, as well as independently. Over the span of more than a decade I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the scores for some of the most popular movies and games to have graced our screens.
