The past couple of years have been a ride. I feel grateful to stay busy with a job that I love; something I try my best not to take for granted.
Among all of the incredible gear and beautiful studio spaces, one of my favorite aspects of working with @nmc_canada is the variety of music and artists that come thru the door. Garage rock, hip-hop, country, prog, low-fi soul, early classical, pow wow, industrial, Latin jazz… the list goes on.
Thank you to all those that I’ve been lucky to collaborate with for your vision and your trust.
If you’re curious to hear some of these projects, I’ve started a humble little playlist with selected work of various involvement (engineering, mixing, production) and I look forward to adding to this list as there is much more on the way.

Ever since I got into recording, I’ve wanted a chance to capture a Tiny Desk concert for @npr . Nov 20, 2021; this dream became a reality.
To record @officialnortherncree in the Tsuut’ina Nation Pow-wow Arbor was such an honor; I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for having us as guests on your land and for allowing me to bear witness to such an event.
The raw power that this group preforms with is unlike anything I have ever worked on, and presents some unique challenges. Hearing them in a space designed for their voices and music was beyond beautiful.
Thank you @phenixwarren for assistant engineering, and congrats to @c.s.gomez and his team for the wonderful camera work.
More thank you’s to @dimestoremedicine , @yer_pal_hd & @nmc_canada for their contributions.
