About Me

I’m a production engineer and technical leader with more than three decades of experience in live production, broadcast environments, and recording studios.

My career has included running a professional recording studio, producing music and spoken-word content, building broadcast and livestream systems, and leading technical production for large-scale live events.

I specialize in signal flow, system design, troubleshooting complex production environments, and helping communicators sound their best on stage, on camera, and behind the microphone.

Alongside production work, I founded MixCoach, an online training platform that helps audio engineers around the world improve their mixing skills and production workflows.

Whether I’m designing a system, mixing audio, or mentoring a production team, my focus is always the same: clear communication through excellent production.
