I’ve written and performed music since I was five years old, and began recording it – tracking, editing, and mixing – in 1997.
That year, I also began a 20 year career in public radio and television, starting as a volunteer DJ at KRBD-FM in Ketchikan, Alaska, then working in the engineering and production departments of WVPT-TV (PBS), and then as on-air host for and Operations Manager of WMRA and WEMC Public Radio (NPR).
These days I manage a makerspace in the Rose Library at James Madison University.
Most of my audio/video production these days is as an amateur artist and hobbyist, but I also take on occasional work helping others with their musical projects, products, and processes.
I also provide consultation and training on the selection, installation, maintenance and operation of analog and digital audio equipment for broadcast and music production.
I’m interested in collaborating with artists and producers of like aesthetics and ambition (or lack thereof). Projects need not be commercial in nature. Costs will be determined based on budget, projected audience, and stakeholder goals.
That is: I’ve worked with national award-winning filmmakers and local starving musicians, at a wide range of rates, including free. Don’t let money or lack of money keep you from achieving your goal.
