This is a weird hire to me. From what I understand, the vast majority of his design background has been either writing for battery or doing sound design. Not front ensemble writing. He has done it, but his highest profile gigs have been either battery (Mandarins, Arcadia HS) or sound design (MCM, PR).
Perhaps he's actually primarily doing sound design, but the website lists him as the front ensemble arranger, which, since all the electronics are in the front ensemble, I guess is technically true.
