I am a music producer and audio engineer based in Northwest Indiana.  But thanks to cars, planes, and trains, I’m world-wide.  My passion for music includes producing, recording and tracking, editing, mixing, and live recording.  I love working with artists and helping them develop.  I am a creative professional with an insatiable (unhealthy?) level of attention to detail.  My favorite music is the artist that is passionate about what they’re playing.  I prefer the sound of analog consoles but the editing capabilities of digital work stations.  Being a musician, I am able to communicate with artists in ways that other engineers can’t.  I get it.

I grew up in Northern Indiana and North Carolina.  As a child, at first I wanted to play the drums.  My dad is one of the greatest guitarists I have ever seen, leading me to pick up the guitar after he told me he would give me one of his if I just learned how to play it.  I did.  (Not nearly as good as him, though!)  I continued to learn to play, and was a part of a couple bands throughout school.  Some of which could have been great.  I joined the military and did three years and one tour.  As my time came to a close, I had to decide whether I was going to stay in or get out.  If I got out, I knew I finally had to pursue music.

I got out.  Got married.  And went to Phoenix to the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences.  Wrapped things up there and then went on to be production manager for a nation-wide touring company called CIY.  We produced two-day high energy events for junior-high students. After two tours with them (and a ton of laughs, hard work, and long hours), I decided it was time to get my hands dirty again.

I am always on the lookout for artists and bands that want to record.  In addition to studio sessions, I‘m also available for live event and on-location recording.

I am also a:

Pretend handy-man.

Lover of animals (especially the rescued type).

Human being trying to love others as best I can.

I long for a day when the music industry is a little more friendly to artists and consumers.  I live in Plymouth, Indiana with my beautiful wife, Amy and our two dogs and two cats.

Among many other things, I enjoy photography.  I believe that capturing a moment in time is a beautiful thing, whether it be recording audio or taking a picture.  Here is a brief overview of what I’ve done and where I’ve been. Like they say, “A picture is worth…”
