MUSIC

Cello, loop pedal. Music is channeling, connecting, curating, cooking. I’d love to help shape your gathering, meditation, dance, or wedding. See the video below for a preview, listen to my albums on Spotify, and contact me to talk about ideas.

 
 

STORYTELLING

I walked 4,000 miles from southern California to eastern Maine — from a wall to a lighthouse — from west to east, Pacific to Atlantic, Mexico to Canada.

I’m writing a book about it now. About the generous, surprising, vulnerable people, the vibrant, churning, giving landscapes, the division amongst us and the potential for face-to-face connection. About processing divorce. About falling in love. About this horrible, wonderful, destructive, mythical idea called America.

i interviewed people in every state i walked through, asking questions provided by the participants — a cross-country conversation, now woven into the book. all interviewees pictured above.

 

EDUCATION

I teach filmmaking and media literacy, from documentary to stop motion to screenwriting. I currently teach in the Digital Cinema department at Southern Oregon University, and the WAMS Digital Media Program at Ashland Middle School.

Creative expression celebrates, challenges, and vibrates our world. I believe in collaborating to honor storytellers' experiences and unpack the power of media.
