About Me

Anyone that knows me on a personal level knows that music is my only true passion in life. I started playing drums 18 years ago...and haven't stopped since. After having been in a band for a few years, I started to get interested in recording and production as means to make demo's cheaper. I then continued to take engineering/reocording classes at Columbia College in Chicago. When I was 21 I went on tour with Mudvayne which began a great friendship and a chance to see how national acts get things done in the studio. After that I had many great opportunites that have taken me thus far. Internships at well known Rax Trax in Chicago and Post Meridian in Schaumburg. Post Meridian was a great opportunity that introduced me to the post production world. I also had an opportunity to work for Don Johnston as an audio editor for books on tape. All of that brings me to the present. After being involved in the recording industry for the last 7 years, I an now looking to work with more and more individuals. Currently I'm working at Signal Sound Source and have engineered/assisted bands like: Mudvayne, Anthrax, HellYeah, Nebulous9, VelvetSun, Left Setter, Beneath Me, Dissension, Hellement, Lee-Ann, Waiflike, Made to Fade, NOLANvoid, Jo Black, D1, Mic Murder, Supreme, G-money, Mind Drop, The Last Vegas, Quarter Mile,Lord Mantis. (You get the drift.) I'm sure you could find samples of this music on these bands' websites or on the internet somewhere. I'm always looking to produce a new project thats fresh and fun. So, get out of the garage, and into the studio! Layout by CoolChaser Get your own free cool template at mywickedspace.com
Another badass quiz from eSPIN-the-Bottle...

The eSPIN Personality Test

MY RESULT: Rebel


Youv'e got an edge, kid. You're not the type of person that anyone's gonna try to push around (at least not more than once).
You're not too concerned with material possessions, and you're not very competitive, but you do like having things your way. You think that having a good time is more important than other people's feelings, and because of that, some of those "nice" folks will be turned off by you.
Eh, whatever. You probably wouldn't want to hang out with those kids anyway. It wouldn't hurt, though, to try to be a little more considerate. You know, considerate in a rebellious way.

Take This Quiz!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jim Morrison, John Lennon, George Harrison, Jeff Buckley, Keith Moon, Layne Staley, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presely, Kurt Cobain, Andrew Wood, Tupac Shakur, Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham, DimeBag Darrell, Bob Marley, Cliff Burton, Tom Fogerty, Shannon Hoon, Micheal Hutchence...ok well I can't meet dead people, I'd like to meet new people. REAL PEOPLE.
