Welcome to my page containing some samples from over 19 years of original music I have composed for films. I have had the privilege and honor to work with very talented visual artists such as Rand Shackleton, Peter Sun and a rising young filmmaker, Caleb Kurowski.
HARMONY
Rand Shackleton is a respected documentary filmmaker who instills emotion into every project. His work primarily features life in the Great Lakes region. In over 15, I have been granted the challenge of scoring films about lighthouses, freighters, resorts and even the antarctic! One of our early releases was called HARMONY, which paid tribute to the Petoskey and Bay View area in Michigan. Enjoy a small sample from this work.

GREAT LAKES FREIGHTERS
I had a great deal of fun putting this score together. Rand Shakelton's images are very striking and putting music together for this production was a very satisfying experience.

UNDER THE KEY WEST MOON
For this film, Rand Shackleton focused his lens on Key West, Florida and came up with a very entertaining experience partially narrated by a colorful full time resident of the island.

WINTER SET (from The Seasons)
There is something magical about snow covered places in the Great lakes region. I tried to do musical justice to this wonderful camera work by Rand Shackelton.

COUNTRY BIKES, BIKES AND BIKES
Many of the films I scored for Rand Shackelton were done in reverse. In other words, I composed the music first and then he set it to his images. I've done other films where I've sat for hours in my studio letting the images inspire me, such as with Caleb Kurowski and Peter Sun. I've even been brought out to some shooting locations to observe. I wish I had started doing this kind of work when I was a lot younger.
