I got my start playing in punk bands in the Baltimore suburbs. I led an outlandish ska band, learning to arrange for atypical ensembles, which I studied deeply as a Contemporary Writing & Production major at a respected music college. I began producing albums for hometown bands. After graduating, I moved to the greater NYC area, where I wrote a song that was licensed for Empire and later Bel-Air. I got a call from FOH engineer TJ Russell, who brought me on to record Cartel's Chroma 10th Anniversary Tour NYC performance. This led to an opportunity to capture Marty Friedman during his first US tour since leaving Megadeth. I took a job as the engineer and studio tech for composer Marcelo Zarvos, recording numerous film and TV scores, including Ray Donovan and The Affair. In NYC’s composer network, I met Andrew Hollander (Waitress, Carly Rae Jepsen) and engineered many of his film scores, including Words on Bathroom Walls, collaborating with The Chainsmokers. I also ended up engineering for Steve Conte (New York Dolls, Cowboy Bebop). Today my focus is on mixing inspiring songs for independent artists around the world, some landing on Spotify editorial playlists. I mixed the music for the award-winning documentary Clemente, scored by EMMY-winning composers Marcus Bagalà and Mark Baechle. Encounter Party, a project I’ve been involved with since its start, is now a Dungeons & Dragons official TV show.
