Teacher expertise and credentials
In 2011, I broke into television by composing music that framed the background of a segment on “The Dr. Oz Show.” Since then, my portfolio has expanded to include numerous placements alongside collaborations with esteemed music libraries, affording me deep insights into the industry. Beyond TV, my compositional talents also shine in the indie film arena, with one of my noteworthy projects being "Earthbound" directed by Robin Shou.
Now in October 2024, I continue to innovate and actively contribute to my field.
