ABOUT ME
I was born and grew up in Lincoln City Oregon, where I first fell in love with music. I started playing guitar in the third grade and haven't stopped since. When I hit High School I moved to Eugene, Oregon in the Willamette Valley. This is where the majority of my life had taken place. I dove headfirst into live audio production, played guitar in bands, met my wife, got my first home, and made some awesome friends.
​
In 2022 My wife and I moved out to Dallas Texas to start our journey as a couple together. My family had moved here a year prior and my wife and I knew that we would move out of the Willamette Valley at some point in our life.
THE AUDIO SIDE
As Bob McCarthy said, I'm working as a "waveform delivery service."
There is nothing that I want to do more than be the direct translator from the heart of the creator to the listener. Whether that be an artist with heartfelt original music, or a cooperation that is trying to invest in their employees. I believe it is my job to remove as many barriers as possible and let the only limitation in place be the mind of the creator.
​
For the live event environment that means people shouldn't even know that I exist. At the end of the show if no one had a thought about the audio or gear involved then it was most likely a good show.
​
For the studio environment, that means an unhindered, low stress creative and collaborative environment, in which the pace is decided by the artist.
A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL
Just in case you wanted the whole story.
Although I love what I get to do as a job, I have many things in my life that I adore much more than being an Audio Human. The first of which is my wife. A talented, beautiful, and kind women that pushes me everyday. No matter how hard the "gig" may be, I know I can look forward to coming home to her and my two dogs.
Our Aussie's name is Tucker (we call him King Tuck), and the Lab mix is a 13 year old named Koko. We got Tucker a month after we got married in 2021, and I've had Koko ever since I was 11 Years old. I could never imagine coming home and not being trampled by two insanely loving dogs.
​
Lastly, my hobbies include being loud. Whether that's playing Rock 'n Roll guitar or going down the Drag Strip in our Blown Alcohol Front Engine Dragster. 0 - 160 MPH in 3.2 seconds. Yeah it's a rush.
