Today I have been honored with the 2016 Henry Warren Screen Composer award, in a splendid ceremony at the USC Town and Gown Ballroom, as a part of the celebration for the Class of 2016 Commencement. This marks the very end of this wonderful year at the USC Thornton School of Music, as a student in the prestigious Scoring For Motion Pictures and Television program. I want to pay my tribute to our sublime Chairman Daniel Carlin, as well as the Dean of USC Thornton School of music Robert Cutietta.
