About Me

I am:
someone who pursued singing as a serious endeavor, and hope to connect with someone who shares a similar passion for music.
I don't always change out of dress clothes when I work in the wood shop. I yearn for the awesome rush, moments before walking onto a stage. I get a kick out of talking while walking aimlessly through the streets of NY. If I go hiking, I’ll likely be shooting with my Nikon D200, too. I don't really drink, don't care for beer; yet, I am on a life-long quest for the Excellent Martini.
I'm very easy to get along with and enjoy conversation on any topic. I'm able to make friends with wildly differing backgrounds and divergent opinions. If you hang out with me, we're going to laugh a lot. I guarantee that your jokes will receive a hearty, satisfying, genuine roar. My laugh is validating that way.
I love to teach.
I teach interactive sculpture and video art at Brown University, and head Brown's Graduate Center Multimedia Lab. I also teach digital imaging and net.art/web design at the Community College of Rhode Island. As an instructional multimedia coordinator for Brown's Instructional Technology Group, I consult for faculty who want to incorporate multimedia to enhance their courses.
I am a new media artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. Much of my creative and professional work is documented here:

Some of my closest buddies are in the sciences and law as well, and the conversation is so stimulating! If you have an open mind and heart with a thirst for knowledge, please drop me a note.

I do still sing and play the piano for lighthearted fun. If you want to jam, let's get together!
