About Me


Hi,
I'm a music producer and audio engineer with Grammy winning, gold, and platinum credits, and projects that have charted in styles including rock, jazz, hip hop, country, and Latin, including several number ones and top tens. Some of the artists I've worked for include Alice In Chains, Oasis, INXS, India Arie, Shinedown, Crossfade, Killswitch Engage, The Yellowjackets, Soraya, Intocable, Blondie, Babyface, X2:The X-Men 2 Soundtrack, Clay Walker, and many others.
I spent many years in Los Angeles, and Atlanta before that, but moved back to the Boston area a couple years ago with my wife to start a family. I'm enjoying meeting so many talented artists in New England and beyond, and collaborating with many through my production, mixing, and mastering services. I value working with new talent, and strive to remain affordable, so don't let the fancy studio pictures or credits scare you off.
Thanks for dropping by!
