More about me

As a kid, I was always looking for a creative outlet (and probably a little attention). I grew up in a musical family and started on drums before picking up guitar, bass, and piano.

I started writing songs in high school and after leading numerous bands of my own, eventually joined the Long Island band Love, Robot, where I played bass and got more involved with writing and arranging. It was during that time that I had my first experience in a real recording studio, and pretty quickly realized that was where I wanted to be.

I loved the small decisions that make a record come together (choosing the right snare, dialing in guitar tones, working out arrangements, getting the right vocal performance.) I was much more interested in that than spending time on stage.

After Love, Robot, I ended up at VuDu Studios, first as an intern and eventually as an engineer working under producer Mike Watts. I assisted and engineered sessions for bands including Glassjaw, Hail the Sun, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and O’Brother, and engineered Stolas’ self-titled record which came out on Equal Vision Records.

These days, I work out of my home studio on Long Island, Deadend Studio. I produce bands like Dear Maryanne and Summerbruise (SideOne Dummy), and mix records remotely for bands like The Republic of Wolves.
