about
I am a theater sound designer and educator from small town Minnesota. I also compose music using guitar, electronics, and field recordings. I occasionally work as a solo artist such as a live performance I created in 2016 at the site of the former state mental hospital in Fergus Falls. MN. I am all about community.
As a theater sound designer I work primarily in the Twin Cities with companies such as Bedlam Theater, In The Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, Minnesota Opera, New Native Theater, Penumbra Theatre, Placebase Productions, Theatre Latté Da, Theater Mu, Trademark Theater, and zAmya Theater Project.
As an educator, I have taught classes in theater sound design at the University of Minnesota at both the graduate (instructor of record) and undergraduate levels (graduate assistant). I have also been a teaching artist for Minnesota Opera’s Music Out Loud program in Minneapolis public schools and Shakespearean Youth Theatre’s Tech Track program.
Awards include Exceptional Overall Production at the 2018 MN Theater Awards for This Bitter Earth at Penumbra Theatre Company (sound designer and composer) and while I was an undergraduate an Achievement in Sound Design for Death and the Maiden at ACTF Region Five in 2008.
