I am a sound artist / engineer / facilitator based in Chicago — by way of Minneapolis, MN.

Originally trained in theater, I have been collaboratively creating narratives in commercial and experimental environments for the past ten years, building bridges between innovation and accessibility.

Lately, I have particularly enjoyed recording interviews. Conversations I have recorded have appeared in podcasts produced by reputable news networks (VOX, CNN, NBC) and major companies (Kellogg’s, Vanguard, Morningstar)

In 2018, I founded Preserve Records, a record label & musical community comprised of some of my favorite songwriters across the United States.

In all that I do, a central aim of my work is community-building, creating physical or digital gathering spaces where individual experience can be shared and celebrated.

If you would like to build something together, please get in touch.
