Born in Rockville Center, NY and growing up in New Haven, CT, I became a musician at a young age. I later traveled to Los Angeles to attend the Guitar Institute of Technology, after which I landed a job at SabanEntertainment, writing songs for the Power Rangers and Sweet Valley High. While I was there, I learned music editing which later led to a job at Warner Brothers as a sound editor where I won three Emmys and three MPSE awards working on John Wells' shows ER, Third Watch, and the West Wing. After several years, I went over to Universal to work under sound supervisor Scott Hecker on a variety of films including Zack Snyder's "300", "Watchmen", and "Sucker Punch". After six years at Universal, I was offered a job at DreamWorks Animation as a sound supervisor and re-recording mixer working on almost all of their releases during my time there. I also developed sound and did on-site mixing for several of the DreamWorks theme parks located in London, Dubai, and Beijing; as well as the Comcast Universal Sphere located in Philadelphia. My latest film "Dog Man" will be released on January 31, 2025, which I sound supervised and mixed for DreamWorks Animation.
