A born and raised mid-westerner.
Being from the Champaign-Urbana area of Illinois. What I’m doing with my free time usually changes depending on the weather. Outside of work I love playing video games, jamming and playing music with friends, listening to live music, board games and playing games outside during the summer.
I have an affinity for the outdoors and adventure, but also love hard work and taking part in home improvement projects, whether it be on my own house or someone else’s. I enjoy doing things with my hands and being helpful to others who need it.
I am a Columbia College Chicago Grad.
While attending CCC, my time was was spent trying to get the most out of my education with Columbia College Chicago’s networking capabilities and vast repertoire of industry veterans in all fields. I took class in Audio Production, Technical Game Design, Writing for Interactive media, but most importantly, Sound Design for Interactive Media. Since the world of Sound Design was so small for the Game department, I made a lot of great friends and developed a plethora of collaborative and artistic game development practices.
Hello! I am a sound designer. I am also…
I am a lover of cats.
I have two cats of my own. Oedon the Tabby (pictured on the left) and Shadow the Tuxedo cat (pictured on the right).
Don’t get me wrong, I love other animals too. I was raised with dogs small animals of all kinds; such as a Boa Python, a pet Tarantula, hedgehogs, hamsters, fish etc.
Cats have stolen my heart, especially these two perfect weirdos.
Some of my favorite childhood memories consist of Spending time with my family eating Sweetcorn and going to Covered Bridge Festivals, hill climbs, state fairs and farmers markets.
I am an Eagle Scout.
I participated in Boy Scouts for most of my life. It gave me knowledge and experience that shaped me into who I am today. I regularly participated in charity events, service projects, and assumed leadership roles in activities as well as Scouting events. My Eagle Scout project was a Food Drive that I planned, organized and carried out a Food Drive that collected and donated 888 lbs. of canned goods that was donated to the Eastern Illinois Foodbank. This took weeks of work and all resources for the Food Drive were donated by businesses and locals who gave me their time to help carry out the plan.
I am a musician.
I have the pleasure of playing drums in a band that goes by the name of Kittens Incorporated. We love playing music, bringing people together, and playing songs that make people feel good.
My history with music goes back a long time. From guitar lessons and playing percussion in summer marching bands, to teaching myself electric base for High School band.
From there I carried on with my love of playing music by using synthesizers in conjunction with drum machines and vocal processing to practice arranging and writing electronic music.
We released this music video to accompany our latest EP which can be found HERE! —> Kittens Inc. - The Romantic Yachts
