Mixing & Mastering Engineers, Producers & Songwriters who worked with frick.
I've been writing and producing rock/pop punk/emo adjacent music for over 20 years. Creating music has been by biggest passion since I was a teenager, and all I have ever wanted to do. I need to do it. So I'm always looking for fun projects to work on and people to collaborate with.

Our "OCD" level of perfectionism has won us some cool trophies. Award-winning audio: mixing & mastering, voiceover casting and recording, sound design and music production… all with hardcore ingenuity that works best under tight deadlines. A go-to for pop stars, Taco Bell, and everything in-between. If you don't soil yourself with joy, we failed.
I have over 73 Million streams to my credits, making me among the top 10% of mixing and mastering engineers in the world. I have worked with Nita Strauss on her debut album which went Number 1 on the Rock Billboards. And with Iya Terra on their album "Sacred Sound" that also charted at Number 1 for Reggae.
As a session musician I had the pleasure to work with various artists from all over the world such as Parov Stelar, Skales, Lee Anduze and many more.
Glenn Fricker said my playing was cool. I was hired for a guitar solo alongside Jacob Umansky (Intervals) for the song The Green Dragon. Professional bassist experienced in most commercial genres. I've played across America with dozens of bands/groups centralized in the KS/MO area.
If you're looking for a great vocal sound every time, let me be the one to get it there! I'm primarily a modern rock mixer, but my vocal production techniques overlap heavily into the pop realm.
Let me breathe life into your songs with a technical yet creative approach to mixing. My mixes have been praised by Spin Magazine's Scott Lipps, Rolling Stone's David Fricke, and played on radio stations across the US from KCRW to WFUV. I'm also well-versed in tuning vocals and editing tracks.
