Thank you for visiting.

I am a Chicago-based composer, sound designer, and audio producer working in the areas of narrative audio/podcast production, live scoring for theatre, and sound design for theatre, film, and podcasts.

Language is the how of our lives, and sound the why. To speak is to sing and to sing is to make real the truths we can’t otherwise express. In my solo work and collaborations with writers, actors, dancers, directors, and designers I aim to forge and shape the bonds between what we wish to speak and how that can transcend into song, into story, into life.

I’ve crafted narrative audio pieces for clients including NPR, CNN, The Poetry Foundation, The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, The College of American Pathologists, Braver Angels, and many others.

My sound design and film and theatre scoring has appeared in regional theaters around the US, Europe, and southern Asia including a stint as Artistic Associate and Composer in Residence for The Rogue Theatre in Tucson, AZ from 2014-2019.

Musically, my work ranges from electro-acoustic composition, contemporary classical, jazz, and folk-style songwriting.

Text-music works include The Forgotten Suite (2021), Empty Gestures (2021) with the Invoke String Quartet, i’ve heard you had loved me (2022) with Ashley Bathgate (cello and voice), and the interdisciplinary ensemble, Small Giants with Actor/Directors Matt Bowdren and Sarah Grant.

I hold a BA from Emerson College and an MFA in Music Composition at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
