About me

I began my career at Sunset Sound. This gave me over 10 years of hands on studio recording and mixing experience while working with not only bands and tailoring to high-profile clientele but many film scores as well. Through the many connections made at Sunset Sound I pursued a position with Pop Producer Benny Blanco to continue my work in the studio, with whom I have Engineered many albums over the past few years. Including Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, and Keith Urban to only name a few.

Additionally my live production experience working in many locations around the world have honed by abilities while under pressure.

I believe my years of experience in the music industry and with various experiences in post production through design or recording, I would be a great addition to your company or project. Also, I am trained in audio restoration and dialogue repair and editing.

My passion though started not with music, but with sound in general. I’ve always had an interest in the sounds that envelop us in our everyday lives. The very minute but incredibly distinctive independant ticks of a human voice are so telling. That being said, my ear is trained to hear appropriate timing, tone, and flawless editing and additionally sound design. Along with ambient recording when vacationing has always been merely a hobby.

I find a simple stereo recording of a beautiful location can often tell so much more than a photo and the skills I possess to develop atmospheres and locations through imaginative design are a solid attribute.
