My current & most proud project:
I've been a full-time recording engineer since 1995. I obsess over movies and microphones (sometimes both at the same time!). I'm also a jack-off of all-trades and former Minneapolis, MN resident up until late 2006, now living in Arizona and working at Apple.
Audio Engineering Society (AES) Member since 1999.
