More about me

              As a child, I always yearned for a creative outlet (and attention). Coming from a musical family, I have been playing instruments for as long as I can remember. My first instrument was the drums, and quickly led to the guitar, bass, and eventually piano. 

              I started writing songs in high school and herding together anyone I knew that owned instruments in hopes of forming a band. That eventually led me to playing bass and taking on a bigger role with writing and arranging in the Long Island band Love, Robot. It was during that time that I was introduced to my first session in a real recording studio. 

              After those studio sessions, I realized that’s where I found myself. Something about working out the finer details of a record, like choosing the right snare drum, dialing in the best guitar fx, coming up with great lyrics and getting the right vocal performances was far more attractive to me than touring for 18 months at a time.

              After Love, Robot broke up, I was brought to VuDu Studios to session play drums on an EP for Heirsound (ex Love, Robot Alexa San Roman and Dane Christopher) which quickly led to an internship opportunity and eventually a subsequent engineering job. 

              During my time at VuDu, I assisted and engineered numerous sessions, often of higher caliber bands like Glassjaw (century media), Hail the Sun (equal vision), The Dillinger Escape Plan (party smasher), and O’Brother (triple crown). I was also given the chance to engineer Stolas’ self-titled record (equal vision). Since then building my own discography recording and mixing bands like The Republic of Wolves and Pollyanna (i surrender).

              Now, as a freelancer, I spend most of my time in my personal space, affectionately named Deadend Studio, producing bands, building songs with singer/songwriters, or mixing tracks remotely, often made by “bedroom producer/artists”, getting the last bit of polish on their songs (and occasionally adding instrumentation). 

              I love music and I love the the recording process. All my focus is on getting the music we make to feel like the music that inspired us in the first place.
