About Me

My life has been devoted to music for about as long as I can remember. I grew up in Columbus Ohio and I began singing in church choirs when I was 5. When I was 10 I went to the St. Thomas Choir School in New York City to sing in the world famous choir of St. Thomas Church 5th Ave.

In 2001 I began to devote myself to the study of guitar and my musical devotion has grown exponentially since. In high school I participated in musicals as well as organizing many school concert events and running the school radio station.

In 2005 I began working on a BA in music at Kenyon College. While there I worked as a sound technician for live music events, I interned at a recording studio in New York City, and I have played in a number of bands and school ensembles.

During my summers I worked at Exploration Summer programs teaching guitar to 9 and 10-year-olds the summer of 2007 and teaching "Guitar History," "The Evolution of Punk Rock," and "Rock as Revolution" to high school students...

For my Masters' programs I wondered into the world of contemporary composers and experimental music at Mills College in Oakland where I finished my M.A. in Music Composition as well as my M.F.A. in Electronic Music and Recording Media. All the while pursuing a...
