I was born in New Jersey, just a few NJ Transit stops away from both New York City and Philadelphia, where I first became interested in multimedia production. After getting a BA in Media Arts from Temple University, I moved to Los Angeles to produce reality TV programs and subsequently got my start podcasting just a few years later. Seeing the rapid evolution of the audio-on-demand industry sparked a passion for tracking its developments, trends, and production/distribution techniques. After moving to Portland, OR in 2015, I partnered with several organizations to launch podcasts, video projects, and developed new methods of presenting accessible multimedia campaigns with a low budget.
