About Me

I am a Producer Songwriter, and Arranger from the Seattle area, based from my studio in beautiful Downtown Tacoma, on 23rd and Pacific! I have a 1200sqft studio split up in 4 rooms.I worked in Nashville for a year and had the opportunity to work as a Production Assistant for Premiere Records, under Morgan Cryar.I spent a summer in Vegas being an in-house musician in training with Lou Carteau (Johnny Carson's Drummer), who produced Whitney Houston, Harry Connick Jr. and many more greats!I have moved back to Seattle and have been keeping busy in this area but continue to travel for work in Nashville, L.A., Vegas, and Canada. I co-write and Produce three or more records a year for R.O.M. Records. I have been working with Centricity Records and their upcoming new artists Jaime Jamgochian and Lanae Hale. I have also done some development work for Geffen, Sony, and Warner. In 2004, I produced a Juno Award Nominee and an Island Award winner for artist Matthew James! I have Produced upcoming Hopeless Records band, Amber Pacific. I also had the opportunity to co-write, produce, and record a song for Stacie Orrico.I frequently travel to Victoria, BC to write and compose for films, as well as Produce Pacific Music Artists (Canada's Warner Brothers.) I also do a lot of songwriting and co-writing. I have co-written with Scott Kripaine, Nick Turpin (for Hannah Montana and Jordan McCoy), and Keith Cookson.In all of my experience, I continue to learn more and more about individuality. I am always ready to try anything! I would like to Produce Artists and Bands that are either already playing professionally or are driven to be working full time in the music industry.
