  • I honed my composing chops working at Hans Zimmer's studio

  • My music is used in 16,000+ TV episodes, 300+ films, and plays on loop at Disneyland Paris (apologies to the staff)

  • Hopefully my next film score is for you!

So what’s my pitch?

I’m an Irish storyteller at heart, and a film score is just a story. My favorite scores emphasize story over plot; they play the subtext when possible; and they elevate the spiritual heart of the film.

I started making films in high school and enrolled in college as a film major. I spent years directing shorts, writing screen plays, and producing projects (including one feature film, a musical, and countless commercials). I know firsthand how projects evolve from conception to release, and how music influences each step.

When possible, I like to sketch ideas early. This gives me the freedom to try weird stuff before the influence of a temp score.

My job is to channel a director’s vision, but I think my true value comes from lending a unique perspective.

I ask, ‘where can I offer a fresh approach? Can I achieve the same idea in an unexpected way?’

Filmmaking is a team sport. How can I best fulfill my role?
