I am a pro audio engineer with over a decade of experience in recording, editing, mixing, mastering, and live sound reinforcement. Based in Toronto, I own Birch Cove Sound and collaborate with artists across jazz, pop, rock, and classical genres. I thrive on helping artists realize their sonic vision using DAW workflows (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Reaper) and top-tier studio gear. I’m comfortable in large-format studios and on stage, delivering clean, powerful mixes in fast-paced environments from rehearsals to live performances.
