COMPOSER
COMPOSER & LYRICIST
I started writing music, lyrics, and scripts around 2001, but I have been writing since the 6th grade. As a child, I became interested in writing comedic short stories and plays--often placing people I knew into outlandish situations. In recent years, I have expanded this nasty hobby into larger works. The characters are no longer real people--at least not that I will admit to you.
The clips below represent a handful of projects over the past two decades, including music for film, radio, video games, logos, and--most significantly to me--music and lyrics from two original musical comedies, written with my collaborator Dustin Oliver.
