About Me

Born & raised in Washington DC. Been living in L.A. for about 11 years. ...A music fanatic (it's my job). A gearhead. A sarcastic S.O.B.!I'm a music supervisor. I worked at DreamWorks as a Music Coordinator and Creative Director for 7 years, on live-action and animated projects. Lucky enough to have worked on some Oscar-winning movies and some platinum soundtracks (and some that I wish I could forget). Time at a major studio allowed me to meet a lot of key players in the world of movies and music, but I try not to get caught up in the Hollywood "scene". I have moved on to start working independently.I'm passionate about ALL kinds of music...from Black Sabbath to Billie Holiday, Morphine to Mos Def, Deftones to Daft Punk, Kid Rock to Kid Koala!

Even though you fight the good fight, sometimes you get your ass kicked.When is it ok to give up "fighting the good fight" when you know it's a battle you can't possibly win? ...in love? ...in war? .....

The "blame the game" game

It really pisses me off that every time some kid decides to go loco, politicians and newscasters want to blame videogames. How about blaming the gun companies and the NRA? ...Or the parents, for havin...
