Studio Work
I am a record producer and mixing engineer based in the Chicago suburbs. I currently work out of Trail Blazer Sound in Hammond, Indiana, which I co-own with best friend and fellow engineer Justin Yates.
I’ve earned hundreds of project credits globally throughout my career, collaborating with Grammy-winning artists and bands like Masked Intruder, The Falcon, Flatfoot 56, and Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds. I pride myself on bringing organization, precision, and creativity to every session, transforming artistic performances into recordings that resonate with listeners.
Live Sound
Beyond my studio work, I am also the FOH/TM for The Lawrence Arms and have run FOH for other notable bands including Jawbreaker, Cobra Skulls, and Ratboys. I've had the privilege of working at historical Chicago venues including the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge and The Metro.
Education
I am currently working as the Senior Program Manager for The Last Mile’s Audio and Video Production program, where we provide technical training in Audio and Video Production inside of correctional facilities. We are the only program teaching Pro Tools and DaVinci Resolve inside of prisons. I am passionate about the transformative power of education, believing it empowers students to build technical skills, foster creative confidence, and pave the way for personal growth.If you would like to learn more about how to support our mission, please reach out at [email protected]
Mentorship
I now offer one-on-one mentorships for beginner and aspiring audio engineers who want to sharpen their skills and build confidence. Each mentorship is tailored to your individual goals and needs, focusing on practical techniques, workflow strategies, and the creative decisions that turn a rough mix into a finished track.
