Creative Strategies & IdeasAward-winning sound · Workflows · AI application
I bring 25+ years of creative and operational experience across media production and complex workflows. I'm now applying that perspective to AI and emerging technology.
My career beganbelow the surface.
I brought a guitar and a Casio keyboard aboard the USS Kamehameha. During off-duty hours, I played music wherever space allowed and read Mix magazine, already imagining a future in sound. The setting was unconventional, but the creative direction was becoming clear.

Audio Post & Immersive Sound
Award-winning sound.Built for every format.
My work spans sound design, mixing, dialogue editing, music editing, composition, and immersive audio across television, film, documentary, music, promos, branded content, and broadcast.
I've worked across formats and delivery environments ranging from stereo and surround through Dolby Atmos. Whether working to picture or with music, the goal is the same: understand the intent, make thoughtful creative decisions, and deliver sound that elevates the finished work.
The strongest solutions begin with understanding who they are for, their context, how things work today, what needs to change, and what is currently missing.
Independent ventures
The approach, put into practice.
Each venture begins with a distinct need, then takes shape through research, requirements, intended behavior, and iterative development.
