I grew up in a cornfield in Iowa, and went to college in a town alternately referred to as "the armpit of Illinois" or "the soybean capital of the world". Now I live in Chicago and spend my days working any number of arts-related jobs.  On any given day you might find me performing in a musical or play, teaching private voice lessons or theatre classes, directing, or music directing. I do a lot of one-off odd jobs when I can get them, like arranging and transcribing music, sequencing, etc...I'm also a not-so-closet computer geek, and do some freelance computer repair, graphic design, and some web consulting on the side.
