ABOUT ME

There's more to me than drums and coffee!

Production Nerd / Coffee Connoisseur

Born and raised in Kansas City! I was already serving in production and creative roles when my Pastor took a church in SD and when he asked if I'd bring those same skills to SD, we said YES! After having our twins, we made the move back to KC to be around our family and friends. When I'm not behind the kit or riding the Harley, I'm usually tinkering with some gadget, re-wiring my car audio system (again) or watching Mrs. Doubtfire for the 39th time!

Growing up in church, I've been around music and production for as long as I can remember. I've done everything from large format audio installation to weekly video production, designed lighting to soldering my heart out on socapex connections. I've also spent a significant portion of time in the networking space, designing and installing networking equipment, consulting and project management in the public and non-profit sectors.
