I’ve been playing in the band MONOLITH and with my brother Eric for over 13 years and released 3 cds and 2 tapes. Our albums are available across the world. During this time I have toured the entire East Coast from New Jersey to Florida, Virginia to the Mississippi. I have worked for 6 different recording studios over the last 12 years as a recording engineer, mix engineer, mastering engineer, producer, and studio musician. I have produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered anything from Gospel to Bluegrass, Country to Heavy Metal. I currently run my own full time production recording studio in Winchester, VA. I own Icon Records, an indie label and recording studio that has been in business since 1997. Icon Records also manufactures CDs, DVDs, Vinyl, Press Kits, Websites, Business Cards, and other forms of media. If it involves music or print, we can do it. Big or small. I have done work for big production live sound companies as FOH engineer and monitor engineer along with smaller sound companies. I have also been hired as a personal FOH engineer (sound man) for many bands over the years. I love the challenge of walking into a sound system and trying to get the best sound possible with what is provided for use. I also have worked on the retail side of the music industry in my younger days in record stores and music instrument stores where I received countless hours of training from industry reps and instrument seminars. I have been playing the drums my entire life and was born to a mother who plays guitar. My uncle Hugh also plays the drums. I have literally had a drum stick, guitar, and some kind of tape recorder in my hands since the day I was born. I enjoy passing what I have learned about the music industry onto others so they can avoid many of the bad situations and mistakes that I have been dealt in the many years in the industry. I also like to be an example and an inspiration to upcoming young musicians. I like to explain you can have a normal life with a family, and still pursue your dreams, ambitions, and goals.
I like to spend time with my two little boys Collin Daniel and London James. They are my entire world and have shown me so much about life. Everything I do is for them and they give me the inspiration to accomplish the impossible.
