"We don't use our equipment to listen to your music, we use your music to listen to our equipment.” - Alan Parsons
My audio engineering experience began in my early years of college. In 2008, my band CUBE decided to record our originals and make our first album. I knew nothing about how to do this, but I knew I wanted to, so I volunteered getting things set up to record. CUBE went on to play over 100 shows from Houston to Austin, and completed one album which you can LISTEN HERE.

I had the privilege of leading a sound production team of four during the filming of Ocean Soul. This involved mic'ing the actors on set, recording via booms and shotgun mics, hiding microphones on set, post-recording ADR, and cleaning and mixing all this audio with sound effects and music needing to be mixed in post. The full film is visible to the right.
Working with a team of four engineers and various musicians, I was able to put my analog recording skills to the test by recording a cover of Kodaline's "All I Want". Recording on tape can be considered a dying skill, and to know how to use, record, and maintain a tape deck for professional recording is something few audio engineers have.
