SKYHIGH KINGDOM
(Original Music)

Here's a track that was originally inspired by my 5-year-old's first trip to the St. Louis City Museum. This wonderful children's museum is truly the epitome of exploration, and is a work of art from top to bottom. This whole piece came to me as I was crawling through tunnels, tubes, and slides trying to keep up with my son! It was the soundtrack of what I imagined was going through his mind as he explored this incredible museum. We had an absolute blast. If you haven't visited the St. Louis City Museum, you won't regret it!

HEAVYOCITY SCORING COMPETITION
(Original Music)

What a great time scoring this bombastic epic trailer! I imagined the broken plates with blue lights as the ”hero,” using big brass and strings to really make an impact at those moments. Enjoy!

WITH ALL OUR MIGHT!
(Original Music)

I wrote this Chiptune when I was reflecting back on the early days of Pokémon, when the trading cards were only the original 151 species, and everyone was trying to get their hands on that elusive Charizard card. The feeling of excitement every time I opened a new booster pack was unforgettable, and I aimed to capture that excitement in this song. Enjoy!

GUSTY GARDEN GALAXY
(MIDI Mockup)

I hope you enjoy this MIDI mockup of my absolute favorite Super Mario song! It was written by mastermind composer Mahito Yokota for Super Mario Galaxy back in 2007. It’ll definitely get stuck in your head!

CAST AWAY - MAIN THEME
(MIDI Mockup)

Here's my MIDI mockup of an excerpt from Alan Silvestri's extraordinary soundtrack for the Tom Hanks movie "Cast Away" (2000).

This was a personal goal of mine, where I had to complete this entire mockup, start to finish, in one evening. It was a long night, but I loved the challenge!

FORZA MOTORSPORT (2023)
(Shipped Music & Sound Design)

I'm thrilled to share with you part of my journey as a Sound Designer at Turn 10 Studios for Forza Motorsport (2023). I was given the honor of handling 100% of the music and sound design for the entire cinematic.
To make this original composition, I chopped up samples from the entire soundtrack of Forza Motorsport into tiny micro-pieces, and proceeded to pitch shift, time stretch, process, and otherwise completely mutilate all of the samples, creating an entirely new and unique piece of music.

TORTUGA CRUISE
(Original Music)

This track was the result of an experiment where I did a theory analysis of several Super Mario songs to figure out what makes it sound so quintessentially "Mario." I then used my new blueprint to attempt to replicate the vibe. Hope you enjoy it!

I CATCH YOU - Score Relief 2022
(Original Sound Design)

My entry for the Cue Tube’s Score Relief 2022 competition. The included voiceover lent itself to an ominous vibe, so I went with more of an unnerving atmospheric sound design approach, rather than music.

This scoring competition doubles as a fundraising event by The Cue Tube in support of "In Place of War," a global charity supporting grassroots music and arts projects in regions affected by war and conflict.
