  Fresno Pacific University

  Jan 2012 - May 2014

  I coordinate music and musicians in service of Jesus Christ for College Hour, a chapel time at Fresno Pacific University. Responsibilities include working with faculty, guest speakers, and other worship leaders to create streamlined worship experiences; assisting in setup / teardown; and creating / curating set lists using Planning Center Online. Using my existing skills, I incorporate a lot of technology into both communication and creative output. It is incredibly rewarding. Wrote a lot of music for the various ensembles at FPU, including Worship Teams, Choirs, Brass Ensembles, Wind Ensembles, Piano, and Percussion Groups. Created and scored for an original ensemble for my senior project. Wrote a song cycle incorporating piano, cello, viola, violin, electric guitar and voice.

  Makers Of Music

  Sept 2013 - Apr 2014

  Owner

  Makers of Music is a website designed to help musicians find freelance jobs for their unique talents. The idea is to decentralize the music industry so that a composer or performer can put their skills to work anywhere in the world. A composer in Spokane should be able to write for an independent film-maker in Baton Rouge, have the work performed by a cellist in Sacramento and edited by an engineer in Okinawa. The mission of "Makers of Music" is to facilitate those kinds of relationships.
