About Me

Hi, I'm Chris
I started my musical journey way back in 5th grade when I joined the band. From there I continued playing through high school and college. I've studied music education at the University of Alaska, music composition at the University of Kansas, and composition for film, television, and video games at Berklee College of Music.

As a music professional, I've played saxophone and flute with the Fairbanks Light Opera Theater and Fairbanks Symphony and oboe with the Anchorage Symphony. My main focus has been as a film composer and sound designer. Over the years I've accrued a hefty list of film and TV credits and have dabbled in some video game work.
