I am a Nashville-based musician and photographer. My musical realm includes keyboards, the French horn, the saw, and backup vocals.

Growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, I was honored to play with Socco (Lawrence Wright), members of The Destroyers (Jeff Simon and Bill Blough), and many other inspiring and influential musicians.

Upon moving to Cincinnati, I quickly became active in the local music scene, and helped form the band Readymaid. I have recorded with my Cincinnati bands The Chocolate Horse and Pearlene, and have enjoyed recording with Cincinnati’s The Greenhornes, Wussy, and Me or the Moon. In March 2009, I recorded with artist Cory Chisel and producer Joe Chiccarelli here in Nashville.

Most recently, I had the pleasure of touring and recording with Ben Folds. My work is also prominently featured on Brendan Benson's August 2009 release, My Old, Familiar Friend. I’m very proud of my work and our collaboration on that project.

I earned my BFA in Photography from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP).

While working as an assistant to photographer Jane Alden Stevens, I helped her produce Tears of Stone: World War I Remembered. Throughout my seven years as a photojournalist for UC, I won a Case District Five Gold Medal award for best Candid Individual Photo, and enjoyed seeing many of my photos published worldwide.

I have also assisted sports photographer Brett Hansbauer and portrait photographer Thomas Condon. My freelance clients include Schickle Design and Yvonne van Eijden.
