I am currently writing and producing songs for The Hook Factory, which I own with Justin Peacock. We are currently recording songs for placement in various TV, film, and commercial outlets. It's a ton of work, but a lot of fun as well. I'm really excited for what the future holds, and am excited that I can do what I love.
