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.

Success! Message received.
