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.
