I am a guitarist, audio engineer and designer originally from Phoenix, Arizona, and currently living in Oxford, England. My main instrument is guitar, but I have also been playing drums since I was 12, and much of my time is composing experimental electronic music using analog synthesizers. As such, my musical influence ranges from Black Sabbath, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, and Tycho. Music has taken me all over the world, connected me to many incredible artists, and has inspired me to pursue cultural and human connection in my career. Apart from music, I enjoy street photography and graphic design.

My day job for the last six years has been testing self-driving cars, and I’ve had the privelage of contributing to several world’s first, America’s first, and UK’s first achievement in autonomous vehicles. Much of my inspiration for graphic and UX design comes from autonomous vehicle technology. And almost all of it incorporates some amount of satire.
