Hey! How’d you get in here? I’m an arranger, pianist, educator, and composer whose love of video game music has been a guiding force in my career.
I love creating accessible arrangements for students, especially video game fans.
I love coming up with fun and new ideas that make a company stand out.
I love innovating the way we practice music.
I love writing music that’s fun, cute, and catchy.
Music has been a part of my life from a young age, but I didn’t see it as a path I wanted to follow until I was 14 years old playing Final Fantasy X. The game opened with its iconic piano solo “To Zanarkand”
My career has gone down several paths. My longest relationship has been with Smart Game Piano; an online piano educational resource I helped found in 2015 that focuses on video game and anime music.
This has led me to a partnership with MusicNotes.com, where I have published the 600+ of Smart Game Piano’s sheets that I have personally arranged.
It has also led me to work with Materia Music in arranging their Dust: An Elysian Tail Piano Selections book and their DELTARUNE Chapter 2 Piano Score.
