About

I am a highly experienced and motivated audio professional with a passion for every aspect of audio mixing, editing, mastering, and recording. I have extensive Pro Tools experience and have grown up with the system since its inception, acting as an external beta tester for Avid and many third-party developers for more than twenty years, including AI-driven tools such as iZotope RX and Waves Clarity.

I have run a full-service audio facility and delivered Platinum-certified work for artists such as John Farnham, INXS, Little River Band and Bachelor Girl, while also providing voiceover recording for radio and television commercials, talent direction, and production-ready editing and mixing. I have taught Sound Production at Melbourne Polytechnic (2012–2021), freelanced since 2010, and contributed as an audio software beta tester and education content author for Groove 3 and Production Expert.
