About
ENGINEER.
MUSICIAN.
COLLABORATOR.
I come to engineering as a guitarist who has played in bands, written songs, and recorded his own music. I've often felt a disconnect between highly technical engineers and the musicians they're recording. My goal is to bridge that gap and help make the best songs possible.
My work centers on the musician, supported by reliable engineering and a strong attention to detail. Whether we're tracking, producing, or mixing, my goal is to translate what you feel into something that sounds honest, clear, and powerful.
