While I have always been an admirer of music, I initially became involved with music when I received my first guitar at the age of 13.  In high school, I played and recorded in punk-rock bands to explore my craft.   In 2009 I purchased my first recording rig.  Soon after, I attended The Recording Arts School at the famous Studio West in San Diego where I became a Certified ProTools Operator and began interning.  I graduated with highest honors with a degree in Audio Production from the Art Institute of California - San Diego in 2015.  I currently work as the Technical Director at Encore Event Entertainment as well as a free-lance audio engineer.
