Audio engineer, producer, and podcast specialist with 20+ years of experience. I built Heinemann Publishing's in-house narrative audio program from the ground up — 36+ titles, two Audie Award Finalist credits, an AudioFile Earphones Award, and 50+ authors coached through the mic. Before that (and since), I've been running my own freelance production practice. I work in Pro Tools, Descript, Audition, Logic, and iZotope RX, and I bring my own rig.
