About Me

My journey in music started at 18, when I picked up a guitar for the first time. I grew up on country music, but everything changed the day I heard Metallica—rock and metal instantly became home. Over the years my taste evolved into heavier territory, and I fell in love with metalcore. There’s something about the blend of melody and aggression that hits me on a level nothing else can. While metal will always be my go-to, I still have a deep appreciation for country, contemporary Christian music, and anything with real emotion behind it.Before becoming a mixing engineer, I spent years pursuing the dream of a touring musician. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with bands like All That Remains, The Acacia Strain, Attila, Beartooth, Fit For a King, Knocked Loose, Ice Nine Kills, and many others. One of the highlights of my early career was performing on the local stage at Warped Tour (Mansfield, MA – 2016). Those experiences were incredible, but as life evolved, I chose a different path—one that allowed me to support my family while still staying deeply connected to music.That’s when I discovered the world behind the scenes. I realized how many moving parts go into bringing an artist’s vision to life, and mixing immediately grabbed hold of me. Music has helped me through some of the hardest moments of my life. It’s been my voice, my outlet, and my connection to the world. Now, my passion is helping other artists shape their raw ideas—their emotions, their stories, their souls—into powerful, polished mixes they’re proud to release.While I specialize in rock, metal, and metalcore, I also enjoy working across genres including country, alternative, indie, and acoustic. If the song has heart, I’m all in.My goal is simple:
Take what’s inside of you—and help you release it to the world with impact.
