ABOUT

I'm a recording engineer with 20+ years experience based in Nashville. I came up as a staff engineer at Blackbird Studio and also taught recording and mixing at the Blackbird Academy for four years. In 2026 I earned a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, for my vocal recording work on Cam's All Things Light.Now I focus on mixing, specifically immersive. I mix in my own 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos studio, for artists, producers, and labels who want a mix that sounds as good in earbuds as it does in a 9.1.6 room.First Atmos mix? I'll walk you through it. Tell me what you hear in your head, and we'll get there together.
