Chevy Silverado: Find New Roads

Original Music

Re-envisioning a classic 60s sound for a modern classic. Rebellious music with a lyrical theme of “getting away”.

Ad campaigns all have tight schedules and high standards. Sometimes I have to turn something around overnight!

Publix: The Ultimate Tailgate Party

Original Music

It’s not all about TV ads. This spot was designed for the Jumbotron! Kiss Cam is up next!

NFL: 100 Years

Original Music + Sound Design

Sound design meets music. Minimal in construction but grand in scope. Made by combining drum percussion with the recorded sounds of on-field football impacts. Yes, there are some real broken bones in there, and one of my best grunts.

Original Music + Sound Design

I seek opportunities with innovative startups and ambitious projects.

This music has layers of texture, and the sound design consists of real bikes recorded in the early summer evenings on the streets of LA. Hear the echoing sirens? Listen close, the city speaks!

Under Armour social media spot feat. Dwayne Johnson

“What is the sound of The Rock’s iron will?”

My niche: expressive and emotional sound design-meets-music. This spot is experimental in concept.

This ad campaign was designed for social media, which always poses its own challenges.

Nest Thermostats

Ukulele is a longtime standard for commercials. So is Matthew McCounoughey. Enjoy both:

Penn State

They asked me to create a something with victorious collegiate spirit. Fast-paced and energetic, but with enough nuance to showcase the glorious diversity of Penn State University. Start small and build to a crescendo; the sound design should be tight and exact, able to interject without breaking the flow. Behold the result.

TED

How many sounds do you think I recorded to compose this this? Which were the hardest to turn into music?

TEDMED is a series on health education. Not just an uplifting tune, it’s everyday bits of humanity that come together like a puzzle and build to a grand resolution.

This is the hard, creative work I love to do.

Car Commercials

To most, car ads are formulaic. To me, they are miniature films. All different; comedic, clever, energetic, daring. Each telling a short story. Check out the spots with voice-overs by Jeff Bridges (Hyundai) and Michael B Jordan (Acura) made right here in Hollywood.
