Biography

I’m a composer, sound designer, and guitarist based in Las Vegas, where I create original music and sound design for American Gaming Systems (AGS). I thrive on collaboration, and working with teams towards a common creative goal has become my favorite part of the job. After graduating from Berklee in 2011, I started my career performing in production shows such as Legends in Concert and have since played with many touring acts and bands.

Before joining AGS, I worked for IGT and Aristocrat, and after COVID shocked the industry and the world, I founded Casino Music and Sound, an audio contracting company serving the casino gaming industry. As a contractor, I collaborated with Konami, SegaSammy, Booming Games, TapSlots, Spadegaming, and several others. Through my studio, Gritbox, I work on projects ranging from music for brands like SNOOZ and game soundtracks to guitar tracking, recording, mixing, and production for other artists.

Outside the studio, I’m a husband to my beautiful wife Morgan and blessed to be a proud father of three, balancing family life with the work I love.
