A Bit About Me
A Tampa Bay Area native, currently living in Portland, Oregon, my career has taken me cross country (twice), including corporate communications roles in Vail, Colorado and San Jose, California.
In 2013 unexpectedly became a radio show host, earning credit as an advertising student, for a nonprofit station out of Gainesville, Florida while interning at a record label most known for the band Less Than Jake and printing colored vinyl records. On the show, I sampled and featured local talent as a live performance scout for my college's student government and production team and wrote armature melodies using a 49-key midi-board and Samson G-track out of the crammed corner of my dorm. Eventually, I began designing music posters for shows at the Civic Media Center and 1982 Music and Arts Venue in downtown and artists like Pine Hill Haints and Twin Forks.
​
My initial jump into the music industry led to graphic design and communications roles for NFL and NHL teams and affiliates and later, Silicon Valley start ups and San Francisco Bay Area based businesses, where my focus is now. In my free time, I continue to write on the side and produce music, soak up blue bird days at Mt. Hood or head to the coast.
