He studied Music Composition and Film Scoring at Cal State Northridge and UCLA, before leaving school to immediately begin working in LA as a freelance music director/musician/arranger/composer in the early 1980s. During these early years, he also worked as an actor, stand-up comic, roller coaster operator, magician, concert/event promoter, music contractor and music clinician.

In 1987, he founded Vital Interactive Media, a multimedia production company that developed music and audio content for television, theater, and computer games/applications.
