As a member of Double Eye Studios, he is innovating on the craft of performance technique within VR both in highly acclaimed live-performance VR experiences and methodology research. As the Co-Artistic Director of the non-profit arts company, Smoke & Mirrors Collaborative, he has been exploring the use of XR to create social impact works that engage with local communities. He comes to immersive media from a performing arts background as a Broadway performer (as an actor and puppeteer in War Horse), stage director, and producer.

There he discovered his love for jazz, frisbee, and pole vaulting and ambivalence about oceanography.
