Hello World, I am a freelance audio engineer working in both music and post-production. I love working in this career, and haven't had a bad interaction yet (knock on wood). Hit me up if you want to work together.

Objective To deploy my creative skills in a fulfilling and rewarding job. I specialize in audio production, videography and photography. I am open to working contract jobs and independent jobs as well.

I'm an audio engineer and video editor with over 6 years of professional experience recording, mixing, and editing audio such as podcasts and music, and 4 years of experience editing video and creating motion graphics. I am an artist and creative person at heart, and over my career I've worked with independent creators, small companies, and corporations. I love to learn about my clients' vision and value communication every step of the way to create amazing results for them. I have an open-minded yet professional attitude towards every project I work on, and I prioritize strong execution of fundamental techniques as the foundation for any project. My media specialties are music, podcasts, video, and motion graphics. I also work on live events as a technician and general problem solver. My primary focus is editing & mixing, but I love serving in multi-faceted roles as a producer too.

I make purposeful edits that keep the flow of the conversation going, and can serve as an assistant producer if needed. I can mix you and your guests' voices to sound full and clear, free of distracting breaths, "uhm's", and all those weird noises you didn't know your mouth makes when you talk. I can run tools to remove background noise that your mic may have picked up. I'll mix in intros, soundtracks, and special effects to draw in your listeners. I'll also deal with making sure your audio meets technical standards like ACX, so it's ready for distribution right away. Editing and mixing for video projects is welcome here.

I can also master your music to get it ready for digital release. I'm a musician (bassist, songwriter) myself, and I approach mixing from an artistic perspective, not just a technical one.
