About

Services

I'm particularly interested in working with video game developers, but flexible!

  • Original music - instrumental, sample-based, and synthesized
  • Sound design - practical and synthesized sound effects, tailor-made to gel with my music!
  • Video production - videography, video editing, and motion graphics
  • Design - web (JS and HTML) and graphics

I believe strongly in being a jack-of-many-trades.

Background

I earned a degree in Communications (Media Studies) from Northern Illinois University.

I was an intern at Big Shoulders Digital Video Production.

I currently work at the National Veterans Art Museum, where I do various multimedia work.

My family runs a nightclub/music venue called FitzGerald's, where I have shot many live performances.

Site

This site uses jquery, swfobject, fancybox, and masonry.
