Sound Design, Composition

I seek to honor the text in everything that I do. Though I am quite the nerd, having studied Economics/Mathematics at the University of Southern California, every piece of technology that I use is dramaturgically justified to enhance the production. To that point, both when designing musicals and when designing plays, every single decision I make technically is artistic as well.

As a jazz guitarist and intermediate pianist growing up, I now leverage my musical composition and arranging skills for theatre by composing music for plays and finding the musicality in every design I create.
