my witchy wife Sionann conjured a coven: Goldie Jo, Layla June & Ozzy Moon
guitar drums bass synthesizers saxophone + more on the road with bands like Man Man
i majored in philosophy at Portland State University
mostly working with comedians and musicians
a fortune teller told my sister that i was sent here from the future to learn what life was like
i have endless ideas and love to light a fire under things from idea to whiteboard to deck to schedule to prototype to writing to studio to post to marketing
short-form VOD, or long-form live, scripted or unscripted, audio or video, digital or IRL, high-level or in the trenches DIY
i’m abnormally organized and analytical, solving problems, building systems and budgets, plus i do graphic and web design (like this site)
in addition to a super prolific side-hustle of audio engineering, mixing and mastering; i have spent my entire life playing guitar, bass, drums, piano, sax, synth, and singing
i’ve produced 1000+ hours of interactive live streams, which have been called “the future of television” by the LA Times and “the smartest dumb thing on the internet” by LA Weekly. they’re both right!
the internet is EXTREMELY BORING and you have to be very surprising to stop the audience in their scroll. i want to challenge everything and i expect the same from you
