“I wear two hats as part of the film industry—I am a composer of film scores and I teach people to compose music for films. Even though I live in Seattle, my music is heard around the world. I made the choice to make Seattle my home and want to be able to maintain a creative career here. Through my teaching, I train tomorrow’s film and video composers. Many of them have to relocate after completing the training because there simply is not enough work locally, so I am behind any government efforts to help support and grow the Washington film industry so that more of our local talented individuals can make a living through making films.”
