I was born in 1964 in San Jose, California. I grew up there in the East Foothills near Alum Rock Park and eventually attended San Jose State University where I earned a Bachelors Degree in Music. I came to Los Angeles in the summer of 1990 to go to The Dick Grove School Of Music where I earned a certificate for the Composing Arranging Program. Since relocating to Los Angeles in 1992, I have composed, arranged or orchestrated music in many genres and areas of the music industry, and I’ve had the opportunity to conduct a lot of that music with incredible musicians in some amazing and iconic studios in Los Angeles, London and Vienna; such a treat to be able to do that!
