Hello! I write music for Hollywood TV shows and Movies.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

The more people I meet, the better my music! Dramatic music is all about recreating an emotional experience and the more experiences I have, the more authentic my music. I can also learn about experiences and cultures through people I encounter.

I'm on Couchsurfing to grow as an individual and composer and to share in mutual experiences with others. You find out a lot about yourself when you meet other people!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Snorkeling on Roatan, a small island off Honduras. Some of the best tropical fish and coral in the world! Top it off with Rudy's Smoothies on the other side of the island for a perfect day after a week of dental clinics.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love teaching music. It's such a diverse subject and everyone has different tastes and perspectives. I love collaborating with other musicians.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can share my musical talents, my insights into how Hollywood works, how to better appreciate movies and scores.

I can cook a little healthy Californian cuisine!

I always strive to bring out the best in people and I love one on one conversations and discussions.
