About Me

Hey, thanks for stopping by my page!
I am an award winning audio engineer, editor and producer with indie and major label experience. I have worked with many wonderful artists and studios around the country. I am also a professionally endorsed, award winning drummer and percussionist with a Bachelor of Arts degree. I have toured nationally and I perform frequently with many fantastic groups and artists. I have played on numerous LP’s, EP’s, demos and singles and my discography is continually growing. I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love everyday and I enjoy every minute of it!
In the studio, I help good musicians sound great and great musicians sound incredible. My approach as an engineer is simple: Create a comfortable environment that inspires the artist to perform to the best of their abilities and capture that performance at the highest quality possible. Any engineer can push record and get a take, I work towards for getting a flawless performance, plus the energy and vibe that makes the track a “keeper”. It’s the capturing the intangibles that separate recorded audio from recorded performance.
On a production level, I work to make the artists vision a reality. My role as a producer can include creating arrangements and backing tracks, re-writing, vocal production, sound synthesis, performance coaching and more. Every artist is an individual and I adjust my style accordingly to suit the needs of the project. I always keep the interests of the artists as the top priority. It’s your music, you control the process and if you’re not happy, I’m not happy. If you’re interested in working with me just drop a line. Check out my blogs for a detailed listing of my credits and discography.
On a personal level, I make good things happen for myself and the others around me and once I set my mind to something there's no stopping me. I like to give others their space and let them be themselves, and I enjoy the same in return. I love to help people, I tend to see the good in others, I'm all about positivity and creating situations that benefit everyone involved. I'm honest, respectful, I have integrity and I respect fidelity and I always stand up for what I believe in. PROFESSIONAL SESSION DRUMMING
