About Me

I'm a filmmaker and musician hailing from New York. Grew up in the Lone Star State. Currently editing reality TV shows as well as completing feature documentary film about Indian Classical music (my other passion).Two years ago I ventured to India to study sitar. While I was there I signed up to compete in a regional music competition. It turned out this was one of the largest music competitions in India, and it also turned out that I won! So last year I returned to India with a film crew to document the tournament of champions at the competition, as well as to peer into the secret world of North Indian Classical Music.

My Interests

Film and video production, film and video post-production, computer crap, Indian Classical Music, contemporary western music, neo-modernist Indo-European music, and baked goods.
