Professional Affiliations

I am a union sound designer.

This is where I work as Resident Sound Designer.

I am on the faculty here, teaching Sound Design, and mentoring design students.

I am a founding member, and webmaster of the Intermountain Desert USITT regional section.

I spend my summers designing sound for these folks. I love spending time in Southern Utah working on the great classics, and in such a wonderful theatrical environment.

I was resident sound designer for The Virginia Stage Company from 1996-1999. Check out the pictures of the Wells Theatre. One of the most beautiful spaces I have ever designed in.
