"This site is meant as a living and breathing workspace, I hope you can take some time to enjoy hearing samples of my work, seeing some fun drag-photos, exploring what education and teaching means to me, and most of all reaching out for an opportunity to collaborate together on a future project. I am interested in the mundane to the brilliant, exploring worlds we have never considered, seeing and hearing how the invisibility of physics ultimately impacts the experience of an audience in each show. I strive to bring every story to life through sound creation, delivery, and amplification. Please don't hesitate to CONTACT using the link.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and please - make yourself at home."
