*Notable collaborations:

Professionalism & Civility. Efficiency & Accuracy.

I try to be mindful of these principal priorities. On set with a crew or isolated in an editing suite, I try to maintain clear cognizance of a project's vision with the expectations of its stakeholders and audience alike. You're working with a proactive, invested partner in production dedicated to the highest quality content and positive promotion of our client(s).

Location Sound Mixer & Recordist

"Leave no trace"

My creative and technical roles on a project depend entirely on the needs of the client, but my initial objective is to minimize my footprint. Whether I'm live-mixing, editing, or assisting in post production, I'll give your project as much or as little help as is needed- never too much and never too little. As a freelance audio engineer, I'm proud of my flexibility, malleability, & improvisational instincts and I'm consistently trying to implement these skills & traits as I assist various creative undertakings.  

Headquartered in Columbus, OH, for the last few years I've effectively and successfully contributed to quality content from local creators, producers, and crew of established and respected companies.

Post-Production & design

I've collaborated with, and I'm happy to continue to be working with, quality producers, marketers, & artists to produce the purest dialogue, ambience, &/or music possible for your professional project- uniquely crafted from the initial location sound capture through standard or necessary tweaking and sweetening in post production. 

A note on Post-Production and "Sweetening:"

There are a few reasons why, as a producer, you should consider running your final audio edit through mastering/sweetening post production services like those which I offer. If you demand a quality product and a powerful delivery, it's not always sufficient that it "sounds good." The audio has a remaining need for packaging at an appropriate loudness for your specific delivery medium, whether it's going straight to broadcast or distributed across different digital outlets. Don't settle for bland, blanket signal processing provided by detached, non-invested international media platforms. Ask an invested co-collaborator to perfectly package and deliver your audio with the most effective loudness and clarity being the goal.
