Musician Stage Tech Filmmaker
I'm an enthusiastic musician, film maker, and Creative local to the SF Bay Area. I've spent my last few years composing and sound designing for films and games, recording local artists and bands, and working in a variety of audio and film related roles. I'm a graduate of UC Santa Cruz's Art & Design: Games and Playable Media program as well as their Electronic Music Minor. Thanks for checking out my page, I'm glad to share my experience with you!
For a bit more than a year I've been working for UC Santa Cruz's Slugcast, a part of their Division of Student Affairs and Success. As a Slugcast podcaster my responsibilities included producing high quality podcasts on student life and campus news. My process for episodes would start with researching episode ideas and writing scripts, recording those scripts and conducting any interviews, and finally editing those scripts in Adobe Audition and Logic Pro.
Through this role I have had the pleasure of refining my skills in audio editing and script writing, learned how to conduct myself in interviews, and have used a variety of different microphones ranging from the Shure MV7X to the Neuman U 87.

I've been heavily involved in the student film making community during my time at UCSC. I've mainly gravitated towards audio and music specific roles such as sound design, composing, and on set boom operating but I've also dabbled in costume designing and special effects. From UCSC I've gotten a healthy education about the film production pipeline strictly from my peers and I can't wait to see what I can do with that experience in post-grad.
Daisy Circuit is one of the bands that I play guitar and song write for. We are an independent outfit out of Santa Cruz that mixes elements of garage and alt rock with country and folk.
Spare Jack is a current solo side project I'm working on. A sort of post-punk amalgamation of whatever random influences I can think of.
The Press Center Stompers were a short lived ska band that I put together for a class project. The band played covers of Toxic by Britney Spears and Linger by the Cranberries which were engineered, mixed, and mastered by me.
