About

Along the long arc I've immersed myself in many different pursuits, but almost all are related to music, travel, and culture. I've been a musician since fourth grade, guitarist, and bass player, in bands since I was 15. Currently, I'm focused on modular synthesis, touring, playing live, and on recordings. I write about music, recording, and culture for various outlets. As masochistic as it sounds, moderating and sitting on panels brings me great joy. I'm always happy to teach out-of-the-box recording techniques in our screen-centric world. It's good to remind people in positions of power of their duty to include the marginalized in the conversations about technology. Artist advocacy has been a focus. A good portion of my life's meaningful moments have sprung forth from the 15 years I worked with Future of Music Coalition. Plus I'm well-skilled in pinpointing exposures in the world of recording studios, nonprofits, art and performance spaces, instrument builders, and creatives, particular as it relates to property and liability insurance.Last of all, but certainly not least, I'm an avid traveler and adventurous eater, as long as tequila isn't involved.
