Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with artists from all corners of the globe. Through these experiences, my obsession with capturing the best sound, performance and energy has never waned. Today, with over 2 decades of professional production experience, I still feel that same enthusiasm each time an artist walks in to the studio. I treat each and every artist with respect and a personal willingness to create the best possible result.
