Award-winning audio engineer, sound designer, mixer, and composer with 15+ years of experience shaping sound, systems, and teams across television, podcasts, and branded content. I specialize in bridging creative vision, technical precision, and client success while building scalable workflows that drive efficiency, innovation, and excellence.Currently, I serve as an Audio Post-Production Lead (Contract) with iHeartMedia for assigned podcasts, owning the audio workflow from recording through final delivery. I act as primary mixer and technical authority, overseeing dialogue editing, sound design, original music composition, and final mix, while collaborating closely with producers and editors to maintain broadcast-quality standards and deliver polished work on schedule.Previously, as Senior Sound Designer and Post-Production Lead at Airship, I oversaw all audio for a slate of chart-topping narrative podcasts including American Scandal, History Daily, American History Tellers, and American Criminal, heard by millions worldwide. I worked cross-departmentally to align creative, technical, and client needs, architecting systems that ensured consistency, scalability, and high-quality delivery across every stage of production, while mentoring engineers and supporting seamless collaboration across teams.As Lead Audio Engineer at FRQNCY Media, I developed workflow frameworks and delivery standards that streamlined production across multiple concurrent shows, including Vox Media’s More Than This, The Jane Goodall Hopecast, and the acclaimed climate series A Matter of Degrees. My systems-based approach improved speed, reliability, and creative consistency across both internal and client-facing processes.Beyond podcasting, I have composed and mixed hundreds of original scores for television and global campaigns with brands including Mercedes-Benz, Instagram, Neiman Marcus, Land Rover, Estée Lauder, Verizon, Lysol, Sunglass Hut, and Cîroc, ranging from major ad campaigns to production albums recorded at Abbey Road Studios.A lifelong audio professional, I bring a rare balance of artistry and systems thinking. I lead complex post-production workflows, advise clients, and architect audio systems that translate creative ambition into consistent, measurable results.
