Away In A Manger

I am a technology-savvy music professional dedicated to creating impactful musical works that resonate with audiences across film, television, and interactive media. My success is built on my ability to craft rich, evocative soundscapes that enhance storytelling and elevate the listener’s experience.

As a pianist and composer, I create music across a wide range of genres, delivering customized scores for production, demo, and performance purposes. I am an ASCAP writer member, with original works featured on premium television, cable, and streaming networks. My solo piano repertoire includes original compositions as well as classical, romantic, and impressionistic works. I also serve as a dedicated piano performance coach, helping aspiring pianists prepare for college auditions, juries, and formal recitals. 

My music studio is equipped with state-of-the-art audio technology, enabling the creation of high-quality content for film scores, commercials, games, and sound design. I have expert-level proficiency in digital audio workstations (DAWs) and music notation software, and I work extensively with industry-standard orchestral libraries as well as tools and platforms from Native Instruments, Arturia, and PreSonus.

In addition to my creative work, I bring a strong technical foundation to music production, with experience in application development and audio programming. This includes expertise in C++, Assembler, DirectX, and audio-related APIs, which enhances my ability to integrate music with interactive and immersive technologies.
