Hello and welcome to my artist page. I am a beginning composer with great ambition and love for music. I have been musically inclined since I was a child and I currently play drums, keyboard, guitar and bass. My fundamental knowledge of music stems from early on as a child, I became very active in school choirs, and playing in high school concert bands.
I was awarded outstanding soloist my last four years of high school for choir/vocal arrangments that were performed nationally in state compitetion.
After high school, I went to college and graduated with a major in theater. During this time, I actively continued to compose various arrangments, some small, some for full orchestra.
My love and passion for music has grown over the years and I find it still soothes "the savage beast" within myself.

Why this name?
It is my own name.
Do you play live?
As I mentioned, I played live until I graduated college.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it gives people the power to discover whereas before internet, artists were somewhat limited to exposure.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would rather have some of my scores performed or at least, become active in film scoring for major films someday.
Your influences?
John Williams, James Horner...geeze, far too many to list!
