About Me

I began my music career as all producers do: learning John Paul Jones licks on a Hondo P-Bass rip off in my Long Island bedroom. Many years playing in a slew of poor and poorly named bands throughout high school and college led to a storied tenure with Atlantic Recording artist, The Hatters.

Eight hundred shows, four years, and three albums later, I decided I had left my mark on enough truck stop restrooms, and landed a job at the world class Right Track Recording studio (Metallica, Hole, The Neptunes) in New York City.

After two years there, I went off on my own as a Pro Tools editor for the likes of Phil Ramone, Frank Filipetti, The Track Masters, and Neil Dorfsman.

In 2001, I partnered with A&R man Peter Robinson at Dumbo Studios in NYC and began a career producing, engineering and mixing records for a wide range of major-label and independent artists, including Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, J-Lo, B-52's, Granddaddy, Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles. To date, I have been credited on albums totaling over 25 million in sales.

These days I work primarily out of my own studio, The Lemonade Stand, providing refreshmemt to the bad-ass Mission Sound located just down the hall in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Parachute hits the top 40

I'm happy to say that "Losing Sleep" by Parachute came in at #38 on the Billboard 200 this week.

Parachute #1 album on iTunes; Free download...

"Losing Sleep" is a great record by this young Virginia band, for which I mixed most of the record, including the iTunes free single of the week and the current single "She Is Love".
