Higher Education Leadership
I am a higher education leader working in the online, professional, and continuing education space. My work is focused on creating affordable and accessible programs that help learners to thrive in their careers and lives. I am interested in how human centered design practices can help universities to innovate to better meet the needs of learners. I have taught courses in design thinking, graphic design, photography, typography, and web design. Find out more about my work on Linkedin.
Music
I write and perform songs, doing shows focused on solo electric guitar and vocals. My songs blend influences from americana, alt. country, punk, and R&B. Our AI overlords think I should describe the genre as post-punk americana, which sounds cool so let's go with it. You can check out some video and recordings of my songs below. For live shows, I mix in a variety of covers with similar flavors to the songs I write. I will also sometimes rope other musicians into joining me on stage because playing with other talented musicians is fun.
I also play bass and sing with Man Down. We mix influences from americana, alt. country, rock, and R&B. We mosly play originals and also do some covers.
And I play guitar and sing with Teacher Party. We play covers with flavors of indie, rock, and post-punk.
