I am a percussionist, composer, and arranger who seeks to create meaningful experiences through art. My music is accessible, expressive, and uses a mix of live performance and multimedia to create unique artistic experiences. I am continuously inspired by the art that is significant to me, be it music, film, games, pop culture, or dance.

I currently reside in Nashville, TN. Most of my days are spent writing music, consuming art, pursuing hobbies, or teaching at Middle Tennessee State University, The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps, or Rhythm X.
