About Me

I'm an award-winning multimedia producer with over two decades of experience creating unexpectedly interesting radio, television, and web content for PBS, NPR, CBS Radio, WGBH, and Lehigh Valley Public Media. I'm also a freelance musician, essayist, sound designer, and video artist, as well as being the brains (and the brawn, for that matter) behind the Youtube channel Sycorax Rock. I've produced public media fundraising campaigns that brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars, and won two Emmys and a national PMA award for Lehigh Valley Public Media.

​

I'm originally from New England - the outskirts of the Boston suburbs, specifically.  I grew up in a house full of musical instruments and stories and slightly dated technology, and developed a love of all of those things. I taught myself to type while playing Zork on the old Atari 800, and learned basic music theory making .MOD tracker songs in the '90s. And that's been a pattern my whole life - in fact, I've developed quite a few marketable skills by simply messing around with stuff.
