About Me
As an artist, my goal is to compose music to inspire others. My compositions are designed for film, media, trailers, videogames, and plays.
About Me
I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to build a career by doing what I love. From a young age I’ve been focused and goal driven. When I had a vision for my professional future in music, I decided to make it happen by going to college at the University of Saint Francis and studying on my own. With experience in the academic setting and professional setting, I’ve now set up shop in Fort Wayne.
I’m thrilled to say that I’ve learned from so many trained professionals in my field, but I know that I still have so much to learn from others in the industry. I’m a hard worker, a team player and excited to see what projects could benefit from my unique skill set. I’d love to chat with you about how we might work together in the future.
