Summary
Sound engineer experienced with Audio Engineering, analog and digital systems. I work to understand the production requirements of each project before designing a new program that fits my clients needs. My skills are based in jazz, Broadway, and hip-hop recording and mixing, but also have an affinity for experimental sound, post production audio, musical theory and performance techniques. The better part of my career has been spent recording, mixing and editing audio for television production. I have mixed and created sound design for many features for sporting events. I also have extensive experience with editing digital audio for synchronization and restoration. Another aspect of my skill set includes quality control of post production materials before air to ensure that overall quality meets broadcast standards in both levels and sound fidelity.
