ARTIST STATEMENT:

While the style of my compositions and designs vary from show to show, one goal connects them: to help support the narrative on stage with music and sound. I strive to do so at the highest possible level of quality and clarity. In doing all of this, a unique approach is essential. Where is the fun in creating something you've already heard before?
