We've collaborated over 18 years and I can honestly say his artistry has been crucial to my development.

I am a musician, songwriter, producer, recording engineer, composer, and educator whose career includes work as a solo artist, touring musician, studio owner, label owner, and creator of music for film and television. A former member of Dumptruck, I has toured and recorded with Yo La Tengo and collaborated with artists including Freedy Johnston, Madder Rose, Lisa Loeb, Rachael Yamagata, and Lenka. Based in Woodstock, New York and NYC, I works with established and emerging artists in recording, production, mixing, immersive audio, and artist development. I also design and lead songwriting, mentorship, and music-based civic-engagement programs for young people and educators. I'm also currently pursuing graduate study in political and organizational psychology at Harvard Extension School, with a particular interest in creativity, collaboration, motivation, and group dynamics.
