To me, the most important tool to being a great mastering engineer is a good set of ears and experience, and I try to hear and correct the slightest deviation in tone, balance, or wavelength, so that your tracks sound great everywhere. I also think that simple, streamlined gear helps me get the exact sound I want reliably and efficiently, which is why I have carefully chosen top quality gear to outfit my studio.

I was born and raised in Seattle Washington (and probably think I’ll never move,) and have been playing, making, sampling, mixing and synthesizing music for over 25 years. I received my BFA from the University of Washington in Digital Signal Processing and Music Composition. Audio and CD Mastering became a fulltime and focused endevor in 2001. In addition to a minor obsession with buying and selling gear on a regular basis, I had releases of my own music as effacer on audiobulb, Kikapu, and panicRecordings, and as fell on en:peg digital, Neo Ouija, and Papergoose records.
