I actively compose and produce music for a variety of projects that range from Jingles and audio ads, albums and such, to music for film and graphic media.
Composition styles range from "classical" to contemporary. I am not prolific in R&B, Rap, Urban, Hip-Hop and the likes. Nor am I a Jazz musician, though I am schooled in it to some degree.
As you'll note from the selections above, the ranges are in classical and contemporary rock and instrumental (non-jazz).
I own a ProTools HD3 system for recording, and I do the majority of my work in my home studio where the system resides.
I'm most interested in working on projects that sync to Film and Visual Arts, such as "webisodes."

- How I Work:
I am first and foremost a consultant to those that wish to engage in the recording process. Typically, many clients have ideas as to what they want to accomplish, but little direction as to how to go about producing the music they want to accompany their visual work. Typically, clients just tell me what they need, and I develop a plan to fulfill that need.
I work with each client to develop a budget as well. Depending on the needs, I either charge a flat fee for service, charge an hourly rate, or work on a royalty (synch, mechanical, radio, etc.) basis for much of the work. Any original compositions I create I retain ownership of, and license the use as appropriate to the client.
- Experience:
I have actively worked in the recording industry since 1998, at the age of 17. Nearly all of my experience is within the confines of the recording studio. I am not a performer, nor do I wish to be one (other than playing guitar for worship at church, which I love).
My primary experience is in composing and recording original music (either mine or the compositions of others), and assisting others in the recording process.
I am available for hire as a producer, composer, engineer, arranger, and musician (guitar).
- Equipment:
Primary system is a ProTools HD3 system situated in my home studio. I use all Focusrite pre-amps. I also have a complete six piece Yamaha Recording Custom drumset, various guitars and basses, and a Yamaha 88-key S-90 Keyboard. I use a variety of "soft-synth" programs for the majority of my sounds, though.
