Hello! I'm a mastering engineer based just outside Chicago. I started recording nearly 20 years ago, beginning with documenting my own writing as a multi-instrumentalist, and eventually progressed to recording and producing regional artists. Over the course of a decade, I played drums, bass, and guitar in various groups around Chicago, and even trumpet and french horn in school. Those formative years shaped the engineer I am today, giving me a musician's perspective that informs my technical and creative decisions. In 2019, I collaborated with acclaimed acoustician Jeff Hedback to design a mixing and production room. We partnered again in 2022, when I relocated and built my current mastering studio, which showcases Jeff's innovative design and the use of Dutch & Dutch's advanced speaker technology. The result is a room that translates accurately and is a daily pleasure to work in. Fast forward to today and I have the privilege of working with artists worldwide, from international superstars like A.R. Rahman to emerging talent in neighboring Chicago. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is connecting with artists and sharing in their excitement as their music comes to life. I believe this passion, combined with a commitment to delivering exceptional results, has earned the trust and loyalty of hundreds of satisfied artists and return clients over the years.

I love connecting with artists on more than just audio—if any of these interests resonate with you, don’t hesitate to reach out and say hello. Husband, father to a toddler and 90lbs Great Pyrenees mix. Photography enthusiast. In another life, I had the chance to photograph celebrities, motorsports, concerts, and even a sitting president. A long-time Canon user who briefly ventured into Sony, I now enjoy the form and workflow of Fuji, which has rekindled my love for photography as a hobby. Insufferable coffee fanatic (sorry). My longest ongoing “science experiment” is pour-over coffee. A few years ago, I added to my self-inflicted madness by diving into manual espresso with the addition of a Cafelat Robot. Cooking enthusiast—or at least I’ve convinced myself of that, since the need to eat persists daily. I enjoy monthly deliveries from Bon Appétit and Cook’s Illustrated, regularly revisit Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, and draw inspiration from America’s Test Kitchen, J. Kenji López-Alt, and Joshua Weissman. Summer 2025 will officially be my flat-top griddle season. Avid traveler alongside my partner. Craft beer fan (sorry, again). The quest to discover new and interesting beers is a never-ending adventure that has inspired trips to Boston for the Beer Advocate Festival, Denver for GABF, and Bruges, Belgium. Of the 3,000+ unique beers I’ve tried, De Garre Tripel from the iconic De Garre pub in Bruges remains a standout favorite. Formula 1! Yes, I owe my admiration for the sport to the Netflix series Drive to Survive. And yes, I have a wheel and pedals to race the tracks on the latest F1 game throughout the season. Architecture and design enthusiast. A fascination with home building and design has stuck with me since childhood. Binge-watching Grand Designs during COVID reignited this and a monthly subscription to Dwell continues to scratch the itch. Computer Science graduate. These days, my degree is mostly put to use creating macros and crafting elementary spreadsheet formulas that streamline my daily work. Do not ask me to code your MySpace page.
