It started with two jobs, a room by the beach, and a stubborn belief that the work would eventually catch up to the vision.

I graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in Audio Production, then left one classroom for the real one: the road.

For three years, freelance audio engineering took me across the country. Different stages, different rooms, same rule. The mix has to be right before anyone notices you were there.

Somewhere along the way, sound turned into picture. Camera in hand, headphones on, learning to direct the eye the same way I'd been trained to direct the ear.

Production assistant on set for DaBaby. Camera operator on the HoneyBee shoot. Audio director on the independent film Beneath The Roots Of Plenty. Creative director, editor, and visual storyteller, often all four in the same day.

I also picked up frontend, backend, marketing, and brand strategy. Not to leave production, but because I like knowing how every part of the machine works.

The through-line never moved. Show up early. Know the gear. Protect the room. Make it look effortless, because the work behind it wasn't.

Now based in Los Angeles: building, shooting, mixing, and looking for the next room worth being in. If you're reading this far, you already know how this part goes.
