Engineering background on albums that equal millions of sales, as well as commercial, video game, TV, and film audio post-production credits.

Additional Skills

I write Jingles, Commercial and Animation Copy, have a background in Marketing, can turn around a project very quickly since I use my own studio for the process. I have a wide range of voices and can also cast alternative voices for any project since I work with so many talented professionals here in California.

I have been a working actor for 20 years and a professional singer/musician for 13 years now. I have been a studio Engineer for over 11 years, and I love this industry more than anything.

I like to be considered the guy who can do anything you need. You'll never need to call anyone else again. I'm great at pulling projects together and I am incapable of "settling". I am only happy once the client is thrilled with the product.
