ABOUT

Most recently, I worked as Associate Professor and chair of the Media Arts department at Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, Minnesota. During my two years as department chair our students won seven national awards, nine student production awards from the Upper Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and several accolades from regional film festivals. In addition to teaching, I have created and directed Media Boot Camp and the Festival of Media Arts (FOMA), directed programming for the international Speechless Film Festival, and managed Mankato & North Mankato Community Television.

 

I am also an award-winning designer/animator and received my MFA in motion media from Savannah College of Art & Design in 2014. Contact me to request a CV.
