Crafting Atmospheric Soundscapes for Immersive Theater
Based out of St. Louis, Missouri
Available for Local, National or Seasonal Guest Artist/Designer Contracts. (Check out my calendar to see availability)
I believe that sound is the invisible architecture of a store. As a theatrical sound designer and audio supervisor, I specialize in crafting atmospheric soundscapes that dont just fill a room - they define the emotional landscape of a production.
Having served as a sound designer for venues including the Peterborough Players Theater and the New Jewish Theater, I focus on the intersection of immersive storytelling and technical precision. Whether it’s building subtle, haunting textures for a dramatic scene or production propulsive rhythmic scores, my work is driving by the goal of making every sound feel essential to the narrative.
I create sonic worlds that breathe, evolve, and stay with the audience long after the curtain falls. Let’s collaborate to find the voice of your project.
When I am not at a theater or in my studio, you can find me behind a camera for my YouTube channel “Following Foss”, spending time with family, out on a trail hiking or out in nature enjoying life.

From haunting ambient textures to propulsive rhythmic scores, these samples demonstrate my approach to building immersive worlds for the stage. Each piece was crafted to serve the specific narrative arc of the production.
