In Their Own Words

“My goal is to inspire students to go beyond their comfort zone and attempt things they are unfamiliar with, in an environment where it is safe to fail often, in order to reach successful outcomes.”

“Music and technology are more linked than ever, evolving at an ever-faster rate. The challenge of our times is to master current technologies and practices while developing an awareness of how the developments of the past have led us to where we find ourselves today so we can adapt more nimbly to what comes next.”

“As an active producer and engineer in the realm of the world’s most popular live music broadcast events, I am constantly working on the cutting edge of live music production. I look forward to bringing some of that experience to the world of students in the master's program.”

“My goal is to strengthen the solid foundation of the existing curriculum, and expand depth of opportunities for students, to make Berklee's Music Production, Technology, and Innovation graduate program a world-class experience with a reputation for excellence, creativity, and innovation.”
