I'm a self-taught professional film composer with a home studio in Houston, Texas. I'm currently working on a couple of video games as well as a feature film and a live musical. I used to be a zoo keeper and wildlife educator until I decided to pursue this other dream job of mine. I have a particular fondness for animation, and seek to learn more about the art and hopefully compose for some animated projects. Seeing The Lion King in theaters in the summer of 1994 was the singular event that simultaneously stoked my passions for film, animation, music, and animals.
