It's time for your movie to sound as good as it looks.

I've been doing sound for picture since 2002. I even out levels, clean up messy production tracks, sweeten dialogue and support your story with sound effects and music. On set, I strafe around with a boom pole like nobody's business, and I also do music playback for music video production. My credits are below. I look forward to adding your project to the top of the list.

My clients say it best:

"The audio is extremely clear and the film sounds (and looks) great."

- Erik Gernand, director, Girl Parts

- Steven Pukin, director, Crush Me

"I've been listening to the film over and over again. It sounds great. Having watched the film many times, I find myself now letting it run while I do other things just so I can hear the mix. Thank you for all your work."

- Joshua Aaron Weinstein, writer/director, Urbana

"You pretty much knocked it into the cheap seats on the first pass. Thanks again for the aural!"

- JP Riley, director, Act Naturally

"Thank you for all of the amazing work you did on my film this weekend. You were so incredibly focused and professional all weekend. And your positive attitude and your obvious enthusiasm for the filmmaking process made you an absolute joy to work with."
