I was a noisy kid.

Today, I make noise for a living.

Since walking into my first sound designer position in 1994, I have worked full-time for Capcom Coin-Op, Inc. (pinball games), Anchor Games (casino games) and now Incredible Technologies (casino games).

I first joined the Incredible Technologies team in 2003. As a Senior Sound Engineer/Composer, I take great pride in producing music and effects, as well as directing speech for many of IT's latest casino games. Over the years, I've also contributed numerous pieces of music for the company's flagship product, Golden Tee Golf.

As a free-lance artist, my work has been heard under such brand names as Disney, Warner Bros., Sega, Nickelodeon, Hasbro, Anchor/IGT, TouchTunes, Namco, I.C.E., Coastal, Chicago Gaming, Valley Dynamo, Bally, Stern and more. I am a specialist in music and sound for casino and arcade games, including pinball, video sports, driving and redemption games, video slots, coin shooters, merchandisers and kiddie rides.

If you've played any number of games at Chuck E Cheese, Dave and Busters or many truck stops around the country, you've undoubtedly heard some of my work. And, if you're a gambler, there's an even greater chance I'll entertain your ears, as Incredible Technologies' slot games continue to gain floor space in casinos around the U.S., Asia, South America and online.

My website gamesoundz.com has video and audio demos, along with a complete list of games for which I've created music and sound.

I continue to provide sound design and live recording services for the Park Ridge Civic Orchestra. This is somewhat of an extension of my previous orchestral experience as a Chicago Symphony Orchestra staff librarian.

Specialties: Custom music, sound design and speech for casino and arcade games. Orchestral scoring for video games and animation.
