I've been chasing a love of music and sound since I was 14, and I've spent years honing my craft across production, mixing, and engineering. I studied Media Production at Ryerson University and began my professional path as an intern at The Orange Lounge, where I worked on podcasts, music projects, and TV shows, soaking in the studio culture and building hands-on skills. Today I engineer at Giant Studios in Toronto, collaborating with Gus Van Go and artists like The Beach(es), Sam Roberts Band, Doug Paisley, and Lowell. When I'm not mixing, I'm on the road as a session drummer with Rubber Tire Peep Show and other artists, or designing posters and visuals for tours. I've also freelanced extensively, handling recording, editing, and production remotely for The Hub, Sick Bird Productions, and Quill Inc., and I enjoy bringing a hands-on, friendly approach to every project.
