I have spent ten years listening to speech and music for a living. I mix live sound on tour and produce records, isolating one voice from a room full of noise, catching every word through crosstalk and bad signal chains, and delivering in real time. I’m methodical and deadline-reliable, work independently from home on my own equipment, and follow style guides and written standards closely. I’ve never missed a production deadline in a decade of work, and I’m comfortable with production minimums plus quality review as a 1099 contractor.…I have spent ten years listening to speech and music for a living.
