One career. Several lives.

02 / Story

Everything
is timing.

In an edit bay, a wrestling ring, or a live venue, timing determines what lands. It’s knowing when to hold, when to cut, when to let a moment breathe — and when to get out of its way.

The larger shifts have been about timing, too. Wrestling gave way to film and television, where I found a home cutting theatrical trailers, network promos, campaigns, and short-form work for clients including The CW, Lionsgate, and ESPN. Now music is opening another direction. In retrospect, each change arrived at exactly the right moment.

03 / Music

A new part
of the practice.

I’m currently studying songwriting, composition, arrangement, and production — bringing an editor’s sense of structure and timing into a different medium.

There’s no finished work posted yet. This section will grow as the music is ready to be heard.

Learning

Songwriting

Form, lyrics, melody, and the choices that give a song its shape.

Exploring

Production

Arrangement, sound, tools, and turning an idea into a recording.

Coming later

Finished work will live here when it earns its place.
