I was born in Silver Spring, Maryland.

My parents play a lot of music. One time I had a dream about a song. The next day I plunked it out on the piano in the living room. My mom asked me how I knew the love song my dad had written for her before they got married.

In high school I played in a band. We played a lot on the docks of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

In college I studied film at NYU. My focus was on sound and animation.

After college I apprenticed with sound mastercraftsman Bern Hayden.

Four years ago I opened up Silver Sound (www.silversound.us) with Robin Shore.

Now I'm sound engineering, and working on producing THE CHAMPION: an animated musical comedy that concerns William, a young publishing-house employee, who risks losing love in a quest to fulfill his ambition. My mom wrote it. It is a beautiful story. It has some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life. It is my quest to complete this movie and share it with the world.
