I've spent the last 20 years working every day in recording studios around the world, honing the art of music engineering, mixing, and record production alongside artists from every genre and background. I was incredibly fortunate in my earlier years to work as a recording engineer on projects helmed by world-famous producers like Sean Slade (Radiohead, Hole), Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Cheap Trick), Lou G (Sunny Day Real Estate, Live), and many others. That experience -- coupled with mixing and engineering for artists like Aerosmith, Ben Folds, Dropkick Murphys, The Rolling Stones, and Weird Al Yankovic -- prepared me for my own production work with a diverse span of artists ranging from the Dresden Dolls to Blood For Blood, Magnetic Fields to Frances Forever, Ally the Piper to Orange Goblin, and countless more.
In addition to my daily work making records, I am also a faculty member of Berklee College of Music's Music Production and Engineering Department, and a teacher and lecturer for a range of international audio programs, including Rosso Arts, SIA, and more.
