A: I'm extremely proud of engineering and mixing the Broforce (Free Lives/Devolver Digital) soundtrack. My work ended up being heard by millions of people.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Best of both worlds. Because neither are great or suck at everything.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I will go above and beyond to deliver a product that we're not only proud to put both our names on, but will remind you why you started making music in the first place.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: The fact that I make people's dreams a reality.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Rock, Pop, Singer-Songwriter and Soundtracks.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I am good at assessing my clients' needs, which allows me to create a vision for how any piece of music I work on needs to end up sounding, paired with a skill level to deliver exactly that.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Experience, excitement, vision and passion.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have a +/-850 square feet studio, which is basically a modified one-room setup, where almost all the action happens in a big central room but with 2 booths to use as needed, along with a small editing room where I lock up my assistant engineer when he's not playing drums. My setup has been tailored over years to provide me with the best that analog and digital has to offer. I'm the same with mics and instruments as girls are with shoes.
