Movies:

Also had the pleasure in being involved in blockbuster films for Disney and Pixar Animation including; The Incredibles, Cars, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and Brother Bear with actors Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Brian Dennehey, Holly Hunter, Tim Curry and Joan Copeland.

Television:

And my favorite thing to do is work on live concerts for Television broadcast. Highlights include; The Wallflowers, Trisha Yearwood, Santana, Patti Labelle, LL Cool J and The Goo Goo Dolls. I've Also done some really cool concerts for the internet with AOL Music. Some highlights; Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow, Deathcab For Cutie, Joss Stone and DAVID GILMORE! Oh, and I've also been recording and mixing live concerts (usually in surround) for Dreammakers Music at the Whitney Chapel inside of Cenetenary College.
