I've loved music since before I can remember. I would record "The Sound of Music" from TV to VHS every year when it aired. I remember one year in particular that I think I watched that movie 4 or 5 days in a row.

I begged my mom to let me take piano lessons and she deemed me ready at age 7. Fast forward 11 years. I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance, then a Masters and Doctorate in Organ Performance. I was happy working in academia, performing, and teaching. Fast forward again about 17 more years and someone told me I could write music for film. I started writing that year, applied to USC the next, and now am doing freelance work for films, games, and commercials.
