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 with over 15 years of experience in recording, mixing, mastering, editing, audio repair, and sound design. My work spans music production, podcast editing, and creative audio projects, helping artists, podcasters, and storytellers bring their ideas to life and communicate with clarity and impact. In 2024, I helped launch over 50 new podcasts and edited more than 1,000 episodes for a variety of clients. I use a blend of industry-standard software including Pro Tools, iZotope RX, Adobe Audition, and Adobe Premiere to deliver polished, broadcast-ready results. I specialize in audio repair and noise removal, restoring damaged recordings and cleaning up audio captured in less-than-ideal situations to achieve as close to professional clarity as possible. This skill has been especially valuable in podcast production, remote interviews, and archival projects. I’ve worked with a wide spectrum of clients, from local artists and content creators to well-known corporations and celebrities — adapting my workflow to meet the unique needs of each project while maintaining the highest level of quality for file delivery and time management. Beyond editing and production, I also bring expertise in sound design. One of my most prolific projects has been an immersive children’s podcast where I produce/composed original music and craft all sound effects to create a rich, imaginative, and engaging world for young listeners. With a strong focus on creativity and communication, I approach every project as an opportunity to connect through sound. As a self-starter, I thrive in independent projects while also collaborating closely with teams to achieve professional, compelling results.
