Hire the Best Audio Editors
in the United States

I've spent over 15 years in professional audio, starting in live sound and production leadership across multi-campus church environments before moving into freelance post-production. That foundation shaped how I work: reliable, detail-oriented, and built for real deadlines. My work spans two main areas. On the music side, I mix and master singles, albums, and live recordings from a fully treated, acoustically calibrated studio designed for accurate mix translation. As a working guitarist, I approach music production from the inside out, not just as a technical exercise. On the spoken word side, I specialize in podcast editing and audiobook post-production, including ACX-compliant mastering, dialogue cleanup, and full delivery workflows that keep listeners engaged without over-processing the natural voice. I also produce meditation and ambient soundscape content blending guitar, synths, and atmospheric textures, and offer DAW and audio workflow training for musicians, podcasters, and content creators.

I’m an Audio Engineer and Sound Designer focused on creating clear, immersive, and emotionally grounded audio for games, podcasts, audiobooks, and digital media. My work spans sound design, music composition, editing, mixing, and post-production, with a strong emphasis on technical precision and creative storytelling. Before transitioning fully into audio, I spent several years in technical QA and production environments, collaborating closely with developers, producers, and cross-disciplinary teams. That background sharpened my attention to detail, version control discipline, and ability to deliver clean, reliable assets under real production constraints. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in audio engineering, sound design, podcast/audiobook editing, game audio, and audiovisual production, whether it's freelance, contract, or full-time.
