Whether recording, mixing or mastering for artists, it’s my goal to help artists create a work that represents their own artistic identity and sound like THEM, and to help them enjoy that experience however it is they need to.

I’m a firm believer in artistic function over technical form, and while I love using techniques from this craft both new and old, I’m not scared to take creative risks to capture the energy of a performance. For whatever the reason for someone recording their art, above all I value the process of affirmation that creating and recording brings people. That’s what I think is most rewarding about this craft and career.

In addition to running Nightsound Studios since 2001, in 2021 I was invited to become the head engineer at the spacious acoustic wonder that is Manifold Recording in Pittsboro, NC. Between these two studios, myself and the crew of other Nightsound engineers get to work with just about every kind of music we can think of, Regardless of genre, or the experience level of the client, from bedroom songwriter to jazz hall-of-famer, it’s an honor to help!

Creating something isn’t always a linear process, and as a sherpa to get you up that sometimes winding mountain, I’m happy to listen and apply my own skills and time to help you get the most out of this experience, all the way to the final mix and master. 

Before learning engineering and production I studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music where I discovered that I enjoy helping other people create music as much as working on my own. After college I spent four years writing, producing and recording music in Nashville at professional and home studios as well as continuing to learn from other musicians and engineers. I want to be part of your unique musical journey!
