Audio engineer.
Always both.
I grew up in an entrepreneurial household where the work was personal and the relationships were everything. That's still how I operate — whether I'm running sound at the Adler Planetarium or digging into data at DePaul. I take things seriously, I show up prepared, and I care about doing it right.

What I do
Accounting
I'm pursuing a B.S. in Accounting through DePaul's Strobel Honors Program, on track for CPA eligibility. My focus is on the people behind the numbers — entrepreneurs, families, and closely held businesses who need a trusted partner to help them understand and manage their financial picture. I'm drawn to tax advisory and the kind of long-term client relationships where the work is personal.
Audio
I started as a kid with a guitar and grew into a working live and studio engineer. I approach sound the way a performer would — with ears for what actually matters in the room. Recent work includes sound design for a Jeff Award–nominated production, project coordination for a Taste of Chicago set, and ongoing live event work across Chicago's premier venues.
Experience
Real work.
Real stakes.
Real stakes.
From backcountry expeditions to sold-out productions to festival stages — every role has demanded precision, accountability, and the ability to perform when it counts.

Audio Intern
Running sound at the Langham and the Adler is about as far from a quiet accounting office as you can get — and I love it. Mixing, logistics, client wrangling, and keeping $50,000+ worth of gear accounted for across events that can't go wrong.

Sound Designer
Designed sound for a Jeff Award–nominated production of Urinetown — which meant tight budgets, zero margin for error, and a sold-out run that had to sound great every single night. It did.

Audio Intern / Stage Technician
Figured out a smarter way to run the operation and cut the staffing requirement in half without dropping the quality. Ten-plus bands a night across two stages — it's controlled chaos, and I'm good at it.

Expedition Leader
Took ten people into the New Mexico backcountry for two weeks and 70 miles. I planned it, trained for it, packed for it, and got everyone home in one piece. Eagle Scout wasn't just a badge — it was a way of operating.
01
Show up prepared
Whether it's a festival load-in or a client meeting, I do the homework beforehand. Preparation isn't extra credit — it's the baseline.
02
Earn the relationship
I grew up watching my family build an architecture practice on trust, not transactions. I bring that same patience and long-view thinking to everything I work on.
03
Make it clear
Complicated work should produce simple answers. I translate what I find — whether it's a dataset or a mix — into something the other person can actually use.
