As music producer and composer, I have been asked to create music tracks in various genres for multiple music libraries, and for international artists. As a film/media composer, I have composed various genres of music for comedy, drama, horror, and documentary films/TV for large production companies.

As a college educator, I have experience in managing university music department’s recording studios, and assisting with events where live sound was necessary.
