As the Principal Engineer I provide complete studio production; tracking, mixing, and mastering. Other tasks include, studio management, maintenance, podcasts, live recordings and webcasts.

Worked with Producer/Engineer Karl Derfler, as well tracking, mixing and mastering projects independently.

I propelled the band from playing small bars/clubs to headlining the Great American Music Hall. Found and negotiated a contract with Talking House Records.

Managed the youth commission through monthly meetings, and special events such as; local band concerts, dances, and movie nights. I booked the bands, promoted, and ran sound for the shows.

Developed my knowledge of band management and music production.
