Columbus State Community College

Adjunct Instructor in New Media

IMMT 297 /IMMT 102

This course I created aggregates introductory yet, powerful tools to navigate the exciting worlds of media creation and communication using both a standard Macintosh computer and powerful Web 2.0 programs.  Students will create an exhilarating variety of music, digital photography and video projects that will not only focus on the creating and manipulating of original content but also the variety of methods of sharing such content with friends, family and the world.



Rock and Roll Summer Camp Experience at Hocking College

Founder and Instructor

I created a week long immersion experience for high school students using Hocking College's state-of-the-art recording facility. As far as I know, this camp was the only music camp where there was no audition process and no instrument limitations. Part of my challenge was to bring together the diverse level of talents in to something cohesive.
     Campers created original songs in the Mac lab using Garageband. Short lectures and listening sessions touched on songwriting basics and the language of music. Eventually campers were brought together to write and record at least one original song in the studio.
      Campers came up with their own band names and logos. We held band photo shoots and finally created a website where we could upload our final content.
