About

About

I am an engineer, mixer and producer based in Los Angeles, CA. Growing up in southern California’s DIY scene, I have been self-recording, releasing and performing music since I was a teenager. This lead me to the late Tiny Telephone Recording, where I was a house engineer from 2018-2021 recording/mixing bands live to tape. Meanwhile, I was also a staff engineer at my alma mater, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, from 2016-2020 where I learned to record classical music and got a degree in Music Technology and Applied Composition.

I operate a home studio in Glendale, California called Somerset Classic and am in/out of other great studios in town; Infinite Family, The Acorn, Wiggle World, Altamira Sound and more. My experience as an engineer is informed by playing in bands, writing and recording my own music, and coming up under the traditional intern/mentor framework. My understanding of acoustics comes from my experience making classical recordings and my time as the national service technician for PMC Speakers. I am well versed in both analog and digital formats, with a preference towards embracing the linear process of recording to magnetic tape.

In addition to working in a studio environment, I am well versed in live sound and on location/archival/concert recording with a mobile setup.
