Los Angeles–based Re-Recording Mixer, Music Mixer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Audio Engineer with more than 15 years of experience across feature films, documentaries, concert films, recorded music, trailers, live productions, and streaming.

My work combines creative mixing and sound editorial with a deep technical understanding of immersive audio, theatrical playback, live-streaming systems, synchronization, and complex production workflows.
