About Me

I'm a mastering engineer. (send me your metal) I'm told (by people other than my mom) that I'm pretty good.UPDATE: I've been told this week, by a producer with proper credentials, that I indeed have the funk, and it was not do to lack of hygene. Go me.

Have a look at my company website Tone and Volume Mastering and/or T&V Mastering the myspace edition of self promotion.

I like bad jokes, big speakers, beer and cooking meat with fire. The order varies from day to day. I'm not much of a fan of sarcasm or understatement.

I'm dabbling a bit in the Flickr Have a looksee if yuant.
