Professional composer, orchestrator, drummer, and mixing engineer with 15+ years of experience.

I deliver precise, musical results with clear communication and professional sound quality.

I am a professional composer, orchestrator, drummer, and music preparation specialist with over 15 years of experience working with ensembles, composers, and recording artists. My work combines strong musical training with real-world performance and production experience, allowing me to support projects with both technical precision and creative insight.

I specialize in orchestration and professional music engraving using Sibelius, creating clean, performance-ready scores and parts for concert band, string orchestra, chamber ensembles, and educational publications.

As a drummer, I specialize in high-energy punk styles including hardcore, skate punk, and melodic punk, as well as orchestral and contemporary percussion. My playing is tight, powerful, and focused on serving the music.

I work in Pro Tools and Logic Pro and use a variety of high-quality sound libraries to create realistic mockups, mixes, and productions. My mixing approach emphasizes clarity, balance, and emotional impact.

I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and delivering professional results that composers, producers, and performers can trust.
