this is where you can find links to articles and essays i've written, as well as links to interviews.
the journalistic project i'm most proud of is I HATE MUSIC, my interview series that originally aired on WCWM. i got the chance to interview musicians from the william & mary scene, as well as acclaimed musical artists such as will toledo and andrew katz of car seat headrest, and charlie hall (most notable for being the drummer for the war on drugs, as well as the producer of the xmas album made by the philadelphia eagles offensive line).
i've also had the opportunity to publish some of my work in vinyl tap, william and mary's music and culture magazine.
finally, i've published some of my music writing on substack. check it out if you're interested in URLfests, experimental pop music, or my relationship with my father.
i'm currently the station manager for WCWM, a student-run, independent radio station operating at the college of william & mary.
i've had a couple different radio shows during my time as a DJ for WCWM - you can find compilations of all the music i've played on air on these playlists.
