      Session Musician

      I am a life-long musical performer, and have ten years of experience professionally recording. My main instruments are violin, viola, cello, bass (electric and double), electric guitar, and piano. My violin has appeared on recordings with members of the Smashing Pumpkins and Flaming Lips, and on the beats of Troy Noka, famed producer for Frank Ocean, Miguel, Doja Cat, and Chris Brown. I perform bass and violin for various projects in Texas, as a full time member for Belcurve, Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band, and Laktating Yak. The genres range across rock, funk, metal, classical, jazz, and more. I have experience playing weddings, performing live shows of all levels, and also teaching. Show less

      May 2017 - Aug 2018
      Production Manager

      As production manager at KVRX, I was responsible for coordinating recording sessions for local and touring artists and bands. During my tenure, I booked the majority of the artists for the radio show Local Live, which brought in a guest band to perform live on FM radio, public access television, and facebook. This meant placing microphones, sound checking, and implementing digital signal processing techniques in order to capture the artists at their best. After the initial sessions, I mixed and mastered these sessions for their release to our YouTube channel. I interned under the former Production Manager for the better part of two years prior to my assuming the role. In total, I estimate that I was involved in over 150 live sessions, and served as lead on those sessions for around 50 of them. I was also free to use the studio for independent sessions and student projects. I left my position in order to focus on my engineering studies, with nothing but fondness for the environment that KVRX creates. Show less

      With the three years of experience in audio engineering that I gained at KVRX, I set out to become my own independent audio engineer. My band mate and I co-founded a new studio in the Austin area called Odd Harmonic. As we complete more sessions, I will add them to my portfolio here for your viewing and listening pleasure.

      Moved into a proactive role within Customer Care. I am part of a new initiative at Wix, where we reach out to new users that are just getting started with Wix, welcoming them to the platform, and educating them about all of the resources they have at their disposal. We want to show them from the outset that Wix is invested in their journey with the company and provide solutions to early pain points they may have with building their sites. My role has expanded since joining, being some mix of Customer Service, Learning and Development, and Data Analysis. I work with team members across the US, as well as in Ireland and Israel.
