Biography

Ever since I can remember I have always been into music. It didn't develop into a career until the age of 13 when I had started arranging Final Fantasy VII music for piano. I came to SquareSound on recommendation from Chris and joined Square Enix Music Online when the split occurred.

I have created and had been involved in a few fan projects such as Symphony of the Lifestream, the Unofficial Final Fantasy VII Piano Collection, Xenogears Light, Super Mario RPG Piano Collection, Unlimited SaGa Piano Collection, Chrono Cross Piano Collection, Chrono Trigger Piano Collection, and most notably the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collection which is still in the works.

Aside from music arrangement, I also compose my own work. I am currently involved in writing music for Ronime Studios for a MMORPG called Exodus: Faded Spirits and a secret project of "epic" music. My love of music also led me to another path... music education. I am currently hired as marching/music staff at my former high school, and plan to turn that into a full-time career by becoming a band director.
