Music
My musical experience spans a variety of specific disciplines ranging from instrumental performance to score formatting. Below are the musical disciplines and services I offer.
Video/Film Scoring
The video making process requires the right music or sound effects, arranged and mixed with skill and intention, to make a video truly stand out. After all, audio is more than half the video experience. If you have a short film, youtube video, major production, or anything in between, I'd be happy to score your video with 1 of 1 music and sound effects. I look forward to working on your production!
Instrumental Recording (drums)
With a decade of experience as a drummer, send over any track you need live drums on and I'll send back a high quality, properly formatted recording. We can collaborate prior to recording to nail down the specific sound and style you're going for. I'm looking forward to recording drums on your next track!
Mixing & Mastering
Have a recording put together but need some help in the final production stages? I offer thorough mixing and mastering services. I'll help your song go from a simple demo to a fully produced track. I'll work closely with you to complete your creative vision. I look forward to working with you on your next track!Listen to some of my mix/mastered tracks below.
Transcribing
As a long time jazz musician, I've transcribed hundreds of solos ranging from long-roping Charlie Parker melodies to dense 10 part harmonies. If you need help figuring out the chords, melodies, harmonies, or anything about a particular song or recording, I can help you discover the information you're looking for. Whether it be a brand new pop song or 1920s barbershop quartet, I make sure my transcriptions are detailed, accurate, and on time.Below is some of my transcription work on some highly complex jazz fusion tunes.
Composing/Arranging
I've been composing and arranging music for over 7 years. I've written across a number of genres including jazz, classical, rock, pop, funk, and more. If you need an original tune or an arrangement of one your favorite songs, I'd be happy to help. I can do audio files, sheet music, or both. I'm looking forward to writing/arranging a tune for you!Take a look at some of my composing and arranging work below.

I'll work closely with you to make sure you're happy with your track and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to helping you out with your track soon!
Photography
I have experience across a number of photography styles: landscape, nature, portrait, action, street, etc. My specialties are product and food photography which have been featured in awards and publications by Scholastic Arts and River of Words. I’ve done photography for non-profit organizations, for-profit businesses, individual projects, and every client in between. Find a selection of my photos here, and reach out to book a photography portfolio for your next event or project. Also feel free to send me your photos for feedback, detailed editing in different styles, or ask me about my own editing styles. I hope to hear from you soon!
About
Two words that describe me: creative and calculated. I have an equal fascination with the technical aspects of creative production as I do the emotional aspects. Beyond a devotion to perfect my creative crafts, I look to inspire creative synthesis in others. People feel as if their interests are too different to exist together; I propose that a unique combination of generalist skill sets develops a uniquely capable and inventive individual. When I compose music, I think like a filmmaker. When I take photos, I approach shot composition like a pianist. The fundamental aspects of any creative discipline overlap in fascinating ways. I highlight these commonalities in all of my work. Unbridled creativity is a powerful tool, but a quality business can’t be run without careful calculations as well. Just as I am exacting in my creative work, I approach professional relationships with the same attention and dedication. As one of my clients, whether it’s keyboards, music, video, all of the above, or something even more special, I uphold my commitment to the product and my commitment to your satisfaction. Thank you for reading, and I hope to work with you soon.
