Originally from New Jersey, I now live and work in Austin, TX. I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences in Radio-TV-Film and studied film at the Université Vincennes – Saint Denis in Paris. After graduation, I spent a year in Master Control at KCWX-TV San Antonio and some time in the editing room as well. After my brief stint in the studio world, I then moved on to equipment rentals at Mopac Media where I spent two years as head of Audio rentals. From there I became a freelancer and I’m currently an independent sound mixer with over 10 years of production experience in the film industry. Starting my career running cables as a utility or holding a parabolic mic at various sporting events including the 2014 Alamobowl, I have since worked on every kind of production imaginable. I have recorded several Sundance Selection films both narrative and documentary and have traveled the US with my craft. Accommodating, easy to work with and friendly, I’m the perfect addition to your next production!
