Audio Engineer with experience in recording, mixing, editing, and mastering. Extensive background in classical music with years of professional education and training by Grammy award-winning engineers and world-renowned musicians.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________I was six years old when I first noticed the picture on the wall of music class. It was as if everything around me had stopped and all I could focus on was the shiny lust of the golden curves. For the entire period, all I could do was wonder about this mysterious instrument. As soon as the bell rang, I jumped out of my seat to ask my teacher about the instrument in the picture. With a bright smile, she told me that it was a saxophone. From that day forward, music has been a part of my life every single day. Over the years I have played with many different musical groups, anywhere from small jam groups on a street’s sidewalk to playing as first chair saxophone with the Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony in Severance Hall. My love for music playing has grown into creating and composing my own music. I have trained rigorously in music theory with private lessons in saxophone and guitar. This education has allowed me to orchestrate the ideas in my head and put them onto paper.I studied Audio Recording at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where I got to capture the sound of some of the greatest classical musicians of our generation. Learning and working with Grammy Award-winning audio engineers, Bruce Egre and Alan Bise, has truly given me the opportunity to learn the industry of recording in and out. On top of perfecting the art of recording, editing, and mastering this program has also led me to receive an Avid Pro Tools Operator certification and be a part of the Audio Engineering Society. I have a great deal of passion for learning about all types of hardware and software.
