Who I Am

I was born and raised in Billings, Montana

I moved to Los Angeles a week after high school graduation and pursued a degree in Audio Engineering. At the same time, I also interned at a recording studio in Sherman Oaks, CA. Under the tutelage of Michael Vail Blum, I learned much about the craft of engineering, signal flow, gain staging, and most importantly how to work with artists.

After a couple of years, I was promoted to a staff engineer at that same studio, Titan Recording. I continued to learn as an assistant engineer as well and was lucky to assist on some Grammy Nominated albums like ‘24/7’ by Norman Brown and Gerald Albright (Jazz) and ‘Branches of the Same Tree’ by Rocky Dawuni (Reggae). As an engineer at that studio, I worked on a number of other genres in varying disciplines, including recording scores for independent films. The range of tasks from recording music, restoring 2” 24 track tape for Sony Mexico, recording VO for a mobile game, etc.

After nearly five years, I moved back to Montana and started doing Post Production sound mixing for a few Investigation Discovery projects, and got the opportunity to do my first Location Sound gigs. Since then, I’ve done work for some major networks, powerful documentary projects, impassioned indie projects, and corporate advertisers., reality and scripted, respectively.

Since then, I haven’t looked back. I’m incredibly passionate about audio, and I bring that to everything I work on. Thanks to the breadth of experience in different disciplines, I have a very diverse and deep knowledge of how to get good sound.

In my spare time you can catch me playing shows with bands, camping, floating a river, or hiking in our beautiful state!
