Summary

I am a versatile music composer, sound engineer, and multi-instrumentalist with a proven track record at Maris, West & Baker, where I’ve excelled in audio post-production, client collaboration, and creative problem-solving. I have earned acclaim for scoring feature films, TV and radio commercials, and producing hundreds of podcasts. My commitment to delivering exceptional results spans across diverse musical contexts, and I strive to bring clarity, professionalism, and innovation to every project I undertake.

My journey began in music, but over the years, I have expanded my creative reach across various mediums. As a multi-instrumentalist and composer, I have developed a strong foundation in crafting purposeful music. I became deeply fascinated with the process of recording music early on, which led me to manage a multitrack recording studio, engineer sessions, produce artists, and arrange music for a wide variety of purposes.

In my most recent role, I had the unique opportunity to explore the world of Voice Over work. Over the past four years, I’ve voiced numerous commercials for TV, radio, and online platforms, further expanding my skill set and creative versatility.

In addition to my music and audio production experience, I’ve also maintained a successful side career in photography for over a decade. My previous employer entrusted me with various photography and documentary videography projects, consistently delivering high client satisfaction. Notable work includes shooting for MS Tourism ad campaigns, governmental events, and portrait sessions for the Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, MS. I also took on the responsibility of producing a short film documentary from start to finish, including shooting, editing, and final production.

I am excited to bring my diverse skill set and passion for creativity to new opportunities, where I can continue to push the boundaries of audio and visual art. I look forward to discussing how my experience can contribute to your team.
