Performing Arts Production and Project Management

Music has always been a passion in my life. High quality live music is something that everyone should have access to experience and through my work with the Office of Downtown Development, The Heritage Fund of Bartholomew County, and the Columbus Area Arts Council, I am working on several projects to make that happen.

In early 2025, I formally was contracted to lead "Project Encore" focusing on a complete reimagining of the historic Crump Theatre, Indiana's oldest remaining theater built in 1889. More information will be released on this project in the coming months.

While the Crump is a long way from being complete, it is important to start utilizing other performance assets in our community. In March of 2025, I produced a sold-out show a local historic national landmark with Dawe's frontman Taylor Goldsmith and Hiss Golden Messenger frontman MC Taylor. This "Night of Two Taylors" helped to show our region that we are capable of hosting touring artists and attracting fans from all over to visit Columbus for the show.

The economic impact of well programmed live performance venues, as well as the improvement to quality of place, make these efforts critical to the vitality of our city.
