With over a decade of experience on stage and in studio using digital and analog soundboards, I have the built up the skills to handle any situation on or off stage to make your production come to life. Certifications in ProTools and Logic, as well as extensive experience with StudioOne (now Fender Pro Studio), Adobe Audition, and many more DAWs, allows me to easily jump into any session, be it live, recorded, or both, smoothly.

Live Engineering

FOH, Monitors, and Recording Live Performances

From setting the stage to breaking down when the job is done, I specialize in recording and mixing live performances, capturing the energy and authenticity of the stage in real time. With experience as both a recording engineer and front-of-house engineer, I’ve worked at both festivals and local venues with artists spanning blues, jazz, funk, zydeco, brass bands, and reggae. My focus is on delivering rich, dynamic sound that reflects the soul of each performance — whether it’s mixing for the crowd or recording and mixing pristine live recordings that bring listeners right into the room.

Studio Engineer

Recording, Mixing, Mastering

I’m a professional studio recording, mixing, and mastering engineer with a passion for capturing the energy and emotion behind every performance. Over the years, I’ve worked with artists across a diverse spectrum — blues, pop, metal, jazz, brass, and funk — helping each find a sound that reflects their unique identity.

My workflow bridges the best of both worlds: the warmth and character of outboard hardware with the precision and flexibility of modern in-the-box mixing. I’m a certified Pro Tools operator and also fluent in Studio One, Logic Pro, GarageBand, and Audacity.

Whether I’m tracking a live band, polishing a final master, or sculpting a mix to sit perfectly in the stereo field, my goal remains the same — to deliver professional, dynamic, and emotionally powerful recordings that connect with listeners and stand the test of time.
