17 Years of Sonic Architecture: Drummer | Engineer | Post-Production The Science of the Groove Music has been my DNA for as long as I can remember. Having been a musician my entire life, I’ve dedicated the last 17 years to professionally mastering the science of the groove. My journey started behind the kit as a professional drummer—five years of living inside the pocket and learning exactly how a song needs to feel before I ever reached for a fader. For the 12 years since, I have translated that rhythmic DNA into the control room, evolving into a post-production specialist who doesn’t just "mix" tracks, but architecturally builds them from the ground up. The Multi-Genre Edge I don’t believe in boundaries. My career has been defined by a refusal to stay in one lane, moving fluidly between the storytelling of Country, the high-stakes energy of Rock and Rap, the polished precision of Pop, and the raw, vulnerable textures of Acoustic/Singer-Songwriter projects. I have a refined ear for the subtle sonic signatures that define a genre—whether it’s the aggressive "crack" of a rock snare, the deep-sub low end of a rap anthem, or the pristine, transparent air required for a vocal-forward acoustic track. My Specialty I specialize in high-impact post-production, precision drum tracking, and surgical mix engineering that ensures every element of a song serves the emotional core of the performance. The Hybrid Toolkit & Influences My workflow is the best of both worlds: the tactile, harmonic warmth of premium analog hardware fused with the surgical precision of Pro Tools. I leverage a top-tier digital arsenal including Antelope Audio, UAD, and Waves to bridge the gap between classic vibe and modern clarity. My philosophy is a fusion of the high-speed efficiency of Billy Decker, the legendary creative depth of Dave Pensado, and the unapologetic sonic grit of the homie Josh Gannett. The Off-Clock Reset When the session is over and the faders are down, I don’t stay in the basement. You’ll find me out on the water, hopping on my boat to go fishing and recharging in the outdoors. I’ve found that the best perspective on a mix often comes after a day on the lake; it keeps my ears fresh and my creative instincts sharp so that when I’m back in the studio, I’m ready to deliver nothing less than excellence.
