Alongside standard project rates, I take on a limited number of projects via creative exchange.
If you’re a great fit, I’m open to trading music production / composition for things that genuinely add value to my life, work, or network.
Things that make life more interesting, fun, and memorable.
• Surf lessons
• Travel perks (airline miles/points)
• Personal training sessions
• Studio access in other cities
• Unique stays (hotels, Airbnb)
• Sailing access or lessons
• Strange but valuable offerings
PITCH ME SOMETHING GOOD.

I know I don’t post on my grid very often, but in case anyone cares: yes I’m still scoring and making music full time - and it’s going great! I’m loving all the variety of projects coming in my door, and I’m so thankful to be working in music/film. What an adventure.
That said, in addition to my scoring work, much of the last few years has also included three of the most meaningful, emotional, and heartbreaking (yet also heartwarming) albums I’ve been asked to produce. The full story is incredible and gives you goosebumps (Google it) but it’s too long to post here, so here’s just a snippet from a recent interview on Theo Von’s podcast where he invited Gary Sinise to chat. Thank you for the shout outs, Gary and Theo!
Producing all three of these Sinise albums (plus co-writing many of the songs) has been a pleasure & an honor, and I’m so grateful to be trusted with such precious cargo. I miss my late friend (Mac) every day. I’m so grateful and excited to say that both of the first two albums made it to the top 10 Bestselling Albums in the USA on iTunes! And if you like physical media: all proceeds of the vinyl sales go to the Gary Sinise Foundation. Many more exciting news updates including concerts and more regarding this project to come…! The third album is coming out in spring of 2026.
Thank you to all of the musicians, engineers, filmmakers, and everyone else involved for being a part of the team to help Mac on the first album, and Gary on the second & third albums. These projects have been so incredibly cathartic for the family after losing their son to cancer.

Cold snow falling outside, warm speakers glowing inside — wrapping up the final stages of a 33-song triple album (yes...!) I’m producing, while the fantastic Sunny Nam works his mastering magic at his beautiful studio, @jacobswellmastering .
Hire him - y’all can thank me later.
Still taking it in — grateful beyond words to have had our original composition “Arctic Circles” (a tune that I co-wrote with my dear late friend Mac Sinise 🫶🏼, and which I also had the privilege of producing and arranging) share the stage with the legendary John Williams. Truly an honor and a memory that I’ll carry with me in my heart forever.

Beyond honored to have one of the tunes my late friend Mac Sinise and I wrote (that I also produced) included in this year’s PBS Memorial Day concert performed by the 100 member National Symphony on our country’s capitol lawn. It was a special night to have our music be a small part of honoring so many lives lost in WWII. Holding space for reflection and gratitude this Memorial Day. Deeply humbled to share our music in tribute to those we’ve lost. Memorial Day means remembrance, and the concert felt powerful, emotional, and meaningful.
It was an evening spent honoring and thanking those brave men & women who served and died so we can pursue things like music, film, cooking, medicine, or raising a family, etc. Both of my grandfathers served in WWII, and I never got to meet either of them.
The two hosts of the show were Gary Sinise and Esai Morales (the villain from the new “Mission Impossible” flick - who I literally just watched trying to kill Ethan Hunt in IMAX, quite surreal). Thank you for including our tune in the evening’s show. ♥️
Here are a few clips from the evening’s live performance plus some of the music video. You can watch the whole live performance on YouTube!

Throwback to being in my happy place, sitting at the console in awe of the one, the only, VINNIE MF-ING COLAIUTA who is absolutely killing it on one of my tunes. Thank you, Wes for helping set this up and for the incredible drum recordings. One of the best days of my life. Also, RIP United.

A wonderfully productive week in Nashville recording lots of music, driving through endless green hills, playing one of my favorite C7s, and of course plenty of puppy play dates. ♥️
