Hello! I write music for Hollywood TV shows and Movies.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

The more people I meet, the better my music! Dramatic music is all about recreating an emotional experience and the more experiences I have, the more authentic my music. I can also learn about experiences and cultures through people I encounter.

I'm on Couchsurfing to grow as an individual and composer and to share in mutual experiences with others. You find out a lot about yourself when you meet other people!

兴趣

The outdoors, I love hiking, being in nature, playing sports, tennis, skiing, wakeboarding, basketball.

I love being competitive, from ping-pong to chess, I could play all day!

I love learning about the world, either through travel, reading, or documentaries. There's always more to learn.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Snorkeling on Roatan, a small island off Honduras. Some of the best tropical fish and coral in the world! Top it off with Rudy's Smoothies on the other side of the island for a perfect day after a week of dental clinics.

教，学，和分享

I love teaching music. It's such a diverse subject and everyone has different tastes and perspectives. I love collaborating with other musicians.

I can share my musical talents, my insights into how Hollywood works, how to better appreciate movies and scores.
