About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Connect with interesting people and create beauty in the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer, sound designer for theatre and film. I love to travel. I have been many places throughout the world and hope to see many more. I work with great artists in music and theatre and am blessed to work as a music therapist in New York and abroad. I live with my partner who is also a musician and by default gets to be a couch surfing host too! I'm mostly a vegetarian although when I travel I'll eat pretty much anything! I'm adventurous, kind, and interested in learning and teaching.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take anything too seriously but have passion in what you do.
