About Me

Background

Born and raised in Boise Idaho, I grew up playing classical piano. I didn't commit to music as a career till senior year when I started looking into film soundtracks. My next step was moving to Boston to study at Berklee college of music where I majored in film scoring and minored in video game scoring. I worked hard through the pandemic and graduated a year early in 2022. 

​

The first thing you should know about me is that I like to be involved. While I am mainly a composer I naturally got involved in several other things during my Berklee studies. I joined stage crew my 3rd semester and started mixing live concerts for both students and touring artists. I also got involved as a lighting director at the Berklee Performance Center. I also assisted classmates majoring in Music production and engineering with their recording sessions and capstone projects in the Berklee studios. On top of this and my own studies, I lead the Film scoring club at Berklee, interviewing professionals and holding workshops for other students in the major. 

​

Inspirations

Jacob Collier, Olafur Arnolds, Joe Hisaishi, Austin Wintory, Ludwig Göransson and other romantic pianists such as Rachmaninov, Ravel and Debussy. 

​

Goals

After graduating I really want to explore different forms of media and get involved in communities that make any of the following:  game development with adaptive music (using Unreal Engine, Unity Wwise, etc), films, animations, art installations, chamber music, orchestral concerts, concert operations, lighting, and more. Overall I am keeping an open mind for multiple ways of making music and media.
