ABOUT ME:

For as long as I can remember I have been making things & taking things apart. I work in many disciplines, from hour long conceptual sound mixes, to feature films and web-design. I'm well versed in today's digital culture and as proficient at the controls of Final Cut Pro as I am at building a computer or a network to run it on. I have extensive experience in the day to day operations of large arts institutions as well as working in a guerrilla style with small arts collectives. I'm a huge proponent of corporative work, its so exciting for me to see the sum of many people's ideas coming together to make something greater than any one individual could imagine.
