About me

Growing up in Montana, it has been difficult to find opportunities in the arts and entertainment industries. I entered college as an actor, saturating my academia with theater and filmmaking courses. Over time, acting became less appealing to me as I found myself drawn towards the technical aspects of theater production. Meanwhile, outside of school, I found myself engaged and active in the local music scene. I soon realized that I was spending more time studying and working on music production than I was on theater curriculum, and decided to pursue a new major: Sonic Arts. I graduated from the School of Media Arts a few years later with a BFA, eager to find the next destination in my career path. Since then, I’ve earned professional experience in the film, television, and music industries. I’ve travelled as an on-set sound mixer/recordist for documentary and reality network television programming. I’ve recorded, produced, and provided foley and sound assets for film, TV, and video games. I’ve recorded and edited dialogue for animation. I’ve managed a sound studio for filmmakers and creative media artists. I’ve worked as a production assistant for feature films and TV programs. I’ve composed, recorded, and produced original music for film scoring. I’ve toured across the country with musicians as an audio engineer. I’ve worked as a FOH audio engineer and stage manager for a performance venue featuring a wide variety of musical genres. I’ve worked as a stagehand for stadium-sized concerts and music festivals. I’ve worked extensively in event production and assisted in all operations involved with large-scale performances. I’ve been a camera operator for mainstage live music performances, recording and live broadcasting to the screens onstage. It’s hard to give a basic summary of my experience working in these various industries, but my skills acquired throughout my journey have brought me a diverse set of unique work opportunities. I hope to continue applying these skills to different disciplines within the arts and entertainment industries, while honing my expertise in sound design.

Sound design may be my forte, but my broad foundation in production, post-production, music production and performance, visual design, event management, culinary arts, administration, and hospitality makes me a versatile and valuable asset to productions and creative projects.
