Prologue

Fun Fact: Before making noise for a living, Connor was a pantomime with The Baker's Dozen Mime Troupe!

Connor was drawn to sound as a medium while learning how to write and perform shows without words. While sporting black-tights and white makeup, he learned first-hand how music and sound can emotionally impact an audience.

Growing up, Connor played piano, viola, and percussion instruments before catching the bug for singing. Vocal Jazz ensembles and Choir

(+a short stint in show choir) quickly occupied his evenings and weekends in the bustling, booming, concrete cul-de-sacs of Des Moines, Iowa. It was his choir friends who dragged him into theatre -- teaching him Zip Zap Zop, making him a thespian, and setting him on a path to the work he enjoys now: designing musicals, mixing concerts, and composing music.
