I have dedicated many years of my life to many different facets of audio including but not limited to live venue performance, setup and production; musical composition and production; and post-production sound design for film, television, and videogames. My passion started at the performance end of the microphone but as I got more and more involved I found I wasn't interested in my performance, a small fraction of a show, song, or choir. What had truly captivated me was the orchestration of all these small fractions into a complete and cohesive work that is much more than just the sum of its parts. This love for production amplified ten fold when I started to dive deep into the in’s and out’s of audio engineering at CRAS and the following internship. Through my schooling I was able to gain an incredible perspective of, and unwavering respect for, the audio industry.
