Introduction: I've been an Independent Audio Engineer for about 15 years. In addition to recording hundreds of bands, I've worked with and learned from amazing producers like Jerry Finn (Blink 182, Green Day, AFI, Alkaline Trio, etc..) and Neal Avron (Yellow Card, New Found Glory, Everclear, etc..). I understand what elements are required to make a great recording and I know how to capture the sounds that my customer's want. Also, I've been told that I'm very good at listening to what my clients are asking for and making it sound exactly they way they want it. Too many engineers are close minded when it comes to recording. I don't work this way. Music is creative and a large part of being creative, is being open and flexible.
