WELCOME!
I have been playing piano since I was 5 years old when taking lessons from my aunt. Music theory and reading as well as playing multiple instruments has always come easy to me. I started to write and compose for piano and strings in 7th Grade for a thing we were doing in a school talent show. Since then I have been privileged to have had the opportunities that many have only dreamed of. I can say without a doubt music and composition is my life.
I'm the music director for Franklin Tennessee Starbright theater. I've helped start the first music camp in Kauma, Malawi Africa. I continue to work as a Copyist for the Nashville Orchestra. My mentor Jim Grey(Arranger/ Director of the Nashville Pops Orchestra...), For the last 3 years Jim has been invaluable in directing me to-words what I want to do for the rest of my life. Write, Arrange and Compose for Theater and Film.
