About

I fell in love with sound as a child, starting with organ and a church choir and later getting hooked on Michael Jackson’s Thriller. I love the way sound can paint pictures—voices, textures, and environments that you can almost hear before you see them. My goal is to turn imagination into tangible soundscapes that people can feel.

Professionally, I’ve built a career as an audio engineer, composer/writer/producer for Radiolab, and a musician touring with various acts. I thrive on collaborative creativity, teaching others, and pushing the boundaries of sound design and storytelling through music and podcasts.
