Began a career as the token white boy in various blues bands in Chicago up and down Lincoln Ave. in the late 70s.
After a particularly hazy period called the 80's, I discovered recording! Perhaps it was just a love of things that go around (Vinyl, cassettes, tape reels, CD's, DVD's) , but then there's all those flashing lights!
Having done sound in most every capacity, I find increasingly I'm attracted to the most artistic projects, whether a commercial release CD, or scoring a feature film. I'm lucky enough to be in a position to refer the uninteresting band demo elsewhere. The interesting band demo I'll take!
16 years in audio spanning original compositions placed in feature length movies and stage productions, to scoring radio and TV spots, music placement,FX, ADR, to VO demos, and recording and producing music CDs and demos. audio engineer, mastering engineer, producer, composer, arranger, music direction. A strength is the ability to get an artist comfortable, yet energized eliciting the best performance possible. "A great recording of a bad performance is still a bad recording".
Music, sound, what and why people do the things they do, cooking (I'm a great cook), skiing, scuba diving, The Cubs, my wife and kids, preventing the consolidation and ultimate dumbing down of broadcast media, politics (libertarian), science fiction as it is increasingly reality.
