I offer my recording engineering skills for every stage of the music production process, from tracking to editing, mixing, and mastering. The bulk of my experience has been in engineering for rock and contemporary a cappella (similar to Pentatonix). Working in audio production and engineering has always been a deep passion of mine, and I enjoy diving into projects with tireless creative energy and focus.
