I began recording location sound in 1983. The intervening years have been a remarkable adventure including 15 countries, 46 states, glaciers, oceans, jungles, mountains, deserts, movie stars, and the grandest film format in the history of the art - CINERAMA!

Having graduated from Boston’s Emerson College, my practical filmmaking apprenticeship began while working as Associate Producer/Production Manager for Newbury Filmworks, an opportunity which imparted in me a depth of experience in EVERY department on set. More importantly, from that perspective I was able to observe the production process, how all the parts needed to mesh, how experience translated to competency on set, and, most critically, how crew members attitudes could impact the production.

The years I worked in Los Angeles further honed my skills as a production sound recordist!
