My Story

I am a creative person who enjoys expressing myself using a variety of outlets. In my youth, I learned to play the guitar and performed with local bands. After high school, I attended a film school in Nashville, TN where I earned a degree as a video editor. Editing and social media management have become my main profession. After taking a hiatus from performing with others for over a decade, I started making electronic music as a solo artist in 2017, calling myself Firkenstein. I began concentrating more on the bass over the guitar around 2020. I incorporated fuzz, distortion, and phaser pedals which set me on a newfound journey of rock music. My current primary instrument is the bass, but I also love to play guitar, synths, ukulele, autoharp, mandolin, etc. Basically anything I can get my hands on! I experiment in a variety of genres including stoner rock, punk, funk, electronic, chill, ambient drone, etc. and have released several albums and singles which are available everywhere!

Hot Sauce

As a video editor, lover of Halloween, & horror film fanatic, I have created a collection of long video montages with no audio that are intended for playing on a television or projector while music plays at a party or event.

Halloween Montages

We grow a variety of spicy peppers in our garden and I turn them into hot sauce and other culinary creations.

Film Editing

I have worked on a variety of movie projects as an editor. Here are some short films, trailers, and clips.
