About Me

I am a professional Musician/Engineer/Producer, what that means is my whole life is music, I play it record it and create it. It is my heart, mind, body and soul... I played in a band called From Zero, we had a record contract on Arista. Even went on to MTV's Real World Season 10 (new york) Toured with too many bands to even begin to name, but had a great time... I have since mellowed out a bit on all that and focused on my carrer in music production. During the course of recording and producing bands, I came across a great band Shades Of Fiction that when asked, I joined as bassist.
I couldn't imagine a world with no music or sound. Music truly is the soundtrack to life. It plays such an important part in all of our lives. I consider myself lucky to be able to capture it as it was meant to sound and produce it to new heights... I am chief engineer at Uptown Recording in Chicago, I make things work... I eat pro-tools it keeps me going... Recording in the modern age with vintage mindset, makes for a stress free living.

Measurements of Success

In my life success is something that drives me, if I were a typical person I'd let it consume me. In the past I may have let such a thing dominate my life, however I believe I am above such things. ...

Collective Unconcious

Never have I thought about this as much as I have lately. Things we've learned without knowing. Situations that make us feel on edge. De-ja-vu... Perhaps not as much as the feeling that it's happe...

Bit by the bug
