I started writing music as a kid, and when I heard the score to a certain favorite film of mine, that sealed the deal for me. I decided that my soul purpose in life is to write film scores.

I graduated from Brigham Young University in Utah with a degree in Media Music Studies, though I also took a great deal of classes in composition and sound recording. I've studied piano performance my whole life, both classical and jazz, and have made an effort to be as well-rounded as possible in my scope of music.

While working towards my undergraduate degree, I had the incredible experience of being an improv dance accompanist for four years at BYU, which has one of the best and biggest dance programs in the nation.

I try to write in every genre of music that I can get my ears on, and I've tended to gravitate towards intense sci-fi/fantasy type scores. I love to build complex, moving textures and contrast them drastically with simple, well-thought out melodies.

Apart from composing, I've also had the unique opportunity to work transcribing music both for individuals and businesses, as well as working as a copyist and editor for the BYU Choral Department.
