Hey there, I’m a freelance musician and programmer working in games, and sometimes films and TV. I enjoy programming and spend countless hours working in Unreal Engine, designing interactive music systems, custom engine tools, and anything else that grabs my interest.

Please enjoy looking through my work!

Very happy to release some new music today—my score for the short film “Hero,” created by Quigley Films out of Philadelphia, PA. The film originally premiered at MAGFest 2022 and is now finally available to watch online! Check it out:


The story is about a young woman who has come to the edge of an ancient forest in search of a legendary sword. It is a story about hidden things and scary things. Of mysterious things and delightful ones. It is a story of courage. It is a story about growing up.

The film is inspired by The Legend of Zelda franchise so keep your eyes and ears out for some of those references. It was a real treat to get a chance to record again with Seattle musicians and the crew at Studio X again—this time for my first film score. Please enjoy!
