As a highly motivated and organized Producer, I combine a solid blend of methodical and creative thinking to any project. I offer a unique perspective with over 10 years of experience in the entertainment business that spans across both Music and Video Games.

When I take on a new team I don't approach it as the boss, but a piece of a puzzle to help creatives and technicals keep on track and accomplish their goals with the highest quality output under tight deadlines with the least amount of stress.
