I am a formally trained creative professional in the fields of music and audio technology. Since 2003, I have been a musician composer/arranger, singer/songwriter, recording engineer, worship leader, and teacher living in the Kalamazoo area. After receiving my Bachelors in music and comparative religion from Western Michigan University in 2008, I earned a Masters in Music composition from the same institution in May 2010. I began my professional career gigging in the area for clubs, events, and weddings as well as being a sought-after guitar instructor for all styles of guitar and music theory. At the same time, I focused much of my efforts towards leading Christian worship and was a bastion of the church community in West Michigan. As my career developed, I focused my efforts towards the production and creation of music over performing. Through the company I started GvG Productions (Later Overneath Creative), I ran a large-scale recording studio facility, designed sound for theatrical performances, consulted on and engineered sound for live PA needs, and wrote and produced music for local and national artists as well as for film and broadcast production. I have been married to my best friend Dannie van Gent since 2009 and we celebrated the birth of our daughter, Evangeline, in 2014. **SKILLS AND EXPERTISE** • Audio - Mastering, Mixing, Tracking, Sound Design, Live/Theatre Sound • Music Creation - Producing, Composing, Arranging, Songwriting, Lyrics • Instruments - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals • Software - Pro Tools, Sibelius, Mac OS/iOS, Office, Google **FEATURED ARTIST LIST** Anna Joy Tucker,.
