I was on the on-campus expert in Music Production. I assisted students, faculty, and staff in the areas of: audio recording, audio editing, music production, MIDI sequencing, mixing, composition, and mastering. I oversaw the construction of two on-campus, miniature recording studios available to students, faculty, and staff.
I create educational content and teach classes on AVID Pro Tools. I helped develop the MIDI Production in Pro Tools curriculum and am the lead instructor for MIDI production classes using Pro Tools.
I teach classes on Music Production using Logic Pro. Topics of the curriculum include: recording audio/MIDI, composition, MIDI editing, virtual instruments, session management, flex operations, using audio effects plug-ins, signal routing, mixing, mastering, and more.
Received my Masters Degree in Commercial Music Composition and Arranging. Much of the degree focused on producing music for contemporary bands/ensembles and producing/mixing music in the DAW
