About Me

I'm a freelance recording engineer and producer. I have been in the recording industry for 20 years now. I've recorded and produced all types of music except . . . hmmmm . . . polka! In addition to recording and producing music, my specialty is in producing vocals and artist demos. Feel free to contact me if you are looking to get signed as a vocal artist or are looking to get your song demos produced. In addition to recording and producing music I have a particlar interest in sound for film and video. I have experience as a sound designer, foley artist and on-location sound recordist. I welcome any inquiries from independent film producers regarding sound for their project. I've been a professor in the field of sound recording for almost 20 years and I love to teach. In addition, I am a writer for a variety of periodicals in the professional audio trade with hundreds of articles to my credit. I'm a member of the Audio Engineering Society, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
