BIO I’m a composer and engineer with 15 years experience across a range of different projects. Most recently I contributed additional music to a feature for Blumhouse, scored two web shorts for Sesame Workshop, and scored and sound designed a narrative short film called Avalanche featuring Lennon Parham and Vivian Bang. I have experience with both narrative and documentary and my music has been featured on Dateline NBC and 20/20. In New York I was the audio and music lead for Ralph Appelbaum Associates, the leading company for media and exhibit design for museums, where I scored every film they produced for projects including the National Veterans Memorial and the National Nordic Museum. I’ve performed at The National Theatre in London, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and engineered albums for Blue Note Records and Concord Jazz.
