Since 1994, I've pursued a rich and varied career blending music creation, multimedia production, and education. Early collaborations led to Grammy-nominated projects with acclaimed artists like Randy Brecker, Rhonda Vincent, and Sue Foley, reflecting the breadth of my musical engagements. I honed technical skills in broadcast news as a studio and field camera operator, audio mixing engineer, and tape operator at News Channel 12 in Westchester, New York, laying foundations for diverse production work.
​
Earning a Master's degree in composition and production, I sustained parallel paths in freelance engineering and music across genres – rock, reggae, blues, R&B, funk, metal, classical, jazz – comfortable crafting soundscapes for contexts like game audio. Teaching has been integral; beginning in 2007, I guided students through audio production, multimedia, and Pro Tools certification courses. As an Avid Pro Tools Certification Instructor (ACI), nurturing technical and creative growth in students remains a passion.
​
A seasonal role at EFL Airport starting May 2025 showcased adaptability handling check-in, gate operations, boarding, passenger assistance, sales, and language translation – a contrast highlighting versatile skills complementing my creative pursuits. Alongside, I continue delivering online private audio production lessons and consulting, supporting individualized learning and project needs.
​
With over two decades as a musician, engineer, and educator, project realization drives me – leveraging equipment, skills, networks, and creativity whether composing game audio, recording studio tracks, mixing for broadcast, or teaching audio techniques. Audio work intertwines with visual media; I engage in mixing with Atomos and explore photography and video production valuing sound’s synergy with visuals.
Throughout my journey, blending creativity with technical know-how remains central – whether crafting sound for interactive media, guiding students, or collaborating on diverse projects. This interplay of art and technique fuels ongoing work in audio production, teaching, and multimedia exploration.
