About me

Welcome to my corner of the audio world. With over 18 years of experience in production sound mixing, I’ve honed my craft across diverse projects in Michigan and beyond. Before diving into the dynamic world of film and video, I cut my teeth mixing live events, mastering the art of mixing audio in real-time.

Specializing in documentary, commercial, and corporate projects, I bring a passion for storytelling to every production. Whether it’s crafting the perfect ambiance for a narrative film or capturing the essence of a real-life story, I thrive on the challenges of on-location work.

Equipped with top-tier, industry-standard recording equipment, I ensure that every sound is captured with pristine clarity. For me, being a production sound mixer isn’t just a job – it’s a calling. I relish the opportunity to immerse myself in intriguing subject matter and tackle the unique hurdles that each project presents.

Let me join you on your story telling journey, where passion meets precision, and every sound tells a story.
