Educational Games Producer

In the fall of 2016, I joined the educational game development studio Filament Games in Madison, WI. Working at the intersection of education, software development, and entertainment, Filament provided me with rich experience in both the video game development pipeline and the rigorous and thoughtful application of game-based learning techniques. As a Producer, I led numerous projects from concept to release with exceptionally talented colleagues and wonderful clients such as Oculus, iCivics, Scholastic, and Publications Intl.

In the fall of 2019, I joined the Education department at GBH, the esteemed public media producer in Boston, MA. Working remotely from the green mountains of Vermont, I serve as Project Manager of Interactive Learning Experiences, focusing on bringing the best interactive resources to teachers across the U.S. through PBS LearningMedia.

Percussionist & Sound Artist

My undergraduate studies at Montana State University afforded me a solid foundation in the creative use of digital media. I obtained a B.A. in Music Technology with a minor in Photography, performed as principle percussionist for each of the university’s top ensembles, taught private percussion lessons, and held the section leader role in the Spirit of the West Drumline.

I went on to complete a MMus in Sonic Arts at the University of Calgary in 2016, studying under Laurie Radford, David Eagle, and Ken Fields. My work focused on multichannel sound-based music and network music performance. My research in network music has been performed internationally between Canada, China, and the U.S. and was demonstrated at the International Computer Music Conference in 2015.

Continuing my work in network music beyond academia, I’ve presented at the NowNet Arts Conference in 2018, performed with Sarah Weaver’s NowNet Arts Hub in 2022 and composed a case study through the DigiScore project in 2024.

In addition to experimental new music research, I teach private percussion lessons and am always open to work with other musicians and artists here in Vermont.
