Years of Experience
About
My Origin Story
Follow my journey from acting and musical theater to film composing and fatherhood.
-
Love of Shakespeare
My teenage years were spent in the pursuit of theater and I grew as an emotional being through the study of Shakespeare, musical theater, and the works of great playwrights like Edward Albee.
-
A Critical Mind
While continuing a pursuit of theater I decided to focus on some of the hard sciences in my early college years at Vassar. While I loved artists, I needed perspective. A move into the world of Physics allowed me to explore my own mind in new ways.
-
Full Circle
My mid-twenties were spent moving away from being on stage to behind the scenes. I returned to a childhood love of mine for film music and attended graduate school in Seattle for Film Scoring. Since then I have laid the foundations for a career I pursue to this day.
Noah’s Milestones
My career has been a decade long accumulation of skills and projects and here are some of my seminal moments. I want to add more.
-
Graduating The Pacific NW Film Scoring Program
In 2012 I graduated from the Pacific NW Film Scoring Program. This was a tremendous education for me, mentored by the masterful Hummie Mann and working with members of the Seattle Symphony on multiple occasions.
-
LAFCI Conducting Intensive
The experience of composing an original orchestral work for a Bulgarian orchestra and then conducting that piece under the direction and expertise of Angel Velez and Conrad Pope was life changing and the end result was a composition I am immensely proud of.
-
Scoring My First Feature
In 2022 I completed my first score for a feature film titled Lil’ Balzac 2. Though the film was an action comedy, the score was very serious work and the director wanted cues rich with leitmotif and melodic development. It was an invaluable experience in working with a director to achieve their vision.

A children’s book writer down on her luck turns to a darker tone, and then her characters come to life to shocking results. Sometimes you reap what you sow. See my entry into this composing competition here.

From the Ashes - International
This was a piece I wrote for a composing competition that won me the honor to tour to Bulgaria and conduct my own original work. The piece, titled From the Ashes, is a reimagining of the firebird scene from Fantasia 2000.
