Hello, I am a composer and sound designer based in Chicago. I have designed music and sound for over 200 theatrical productions in and around Chicago, as well as in New York, Seattle, Madison, Milwaukee, London, Edinburgh, Brighton and Manchester.

My work in theatre has earned a New York Drama Desk nomination for Sound Design (2008) a Jeff award for Original Music, two Jeff Citations for Sound Design, and two After Dark awards for Sound Design. Additionally, I've created music and sound for dance, film and multimedia projects, and have performed monologues with sound across the United States. I am also an ensemble member with A Red Orchid Theatre in Chicago.

I am also active designing and building hardware and software systems for the production and processing of audio.
