Introduction & Bio
Welcome, I invite you to explore my site to get a better understanding of my specialties, technique, and professional experience in sound.
A bit about myself, I have been recording and mixing sound in some form or fashion since 2006, be it AM/FM talk radio, podcast/online broadcast, studio television work, or live theater. I fell in love with location sound back in 2016 and have been doing it professionally full time since 2017. Although my field experience is constantly growing I have a very strong understanding of how to record, mix and problem solve sound regardless of my environment.
I am a U.S. Army veteran. The military has taught me to have a higher level of professionalism than many of my peers. It has also taught me how to adapt and lead in an ever-changing environment and keep calm and collected in stressful situations.
What you’ll find below are my reels for sound and editing. They are a combination of commissioned work, as well as some personal passion projects that I have had the pleasure to be a part of. Enjoy browsing, and please get in touch with any questions you may have.
