Recording and mix engineer, producer, and music marketer

Helping artists turn their ideas into music they’re proud of.

I record, edit, and mix in Pro Tools and Logic Pro, and I help artists get their music made and heard. I’m looking for a studio or production internship where I can learn from working engineers and support real sessions.

About

Music has been part of my life as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of my father playing piano, and I grew up loving live music, attending concerts with family and friends.

I’m a songwriter and performer, so I know how rewarding it is to write and record an original song and share it. That’s why I want to work on the other side of the glass, helping other artists do the same. I record, edit, mix, and perform with my band Split Point. I also book shows, design merchandise, release music, and I conceived the original idea for the Food Fight Music Festival that raised nearly $4,000 for the Hilliard Food Pantry.

I’m a 3.8 GPA student at Ohio University and I’m looking for hands-on experience in a studio, working on real sessions with people who have more experience than me and who don’t mind sharing it.

Featured work

Track 01

Chump: Recording + Before/After Mix

Role: Recording and mix engineer & producer · Tools: Logic Pro

I recorded Chump, a local band, and mixed the tracks for their inaugural EP. Play the raw take and then play the mix to hear the difference. The goal was to keep their energy while making the song clear and punchy. I tightened the low end, cleaned up the guitars, and gave the vocals space to sit on top.

Track 02

Untitled short film: Industrial soundtrack

Role: Soundtrack composer and producer · Director: Tyler Joseph · Length: 2 minutes

Tyler Joseph filmed a 2-minute short and I created and produced its industrial soundtrack. I wanted the music to build tension and match the film’s harsh, chaotic feel, featuring coarse synths, and dissonant soundscapes that heighten tension and evoke a sense of dread. I timed it to the cuts and the key moments on screen.

Track 03

Split Point: “Count Drunkula” (Mix)

Role: Musician, recording and mix engineer · Tools: Logic Pro

A mix of one of my own band’s songs. Split Point’s sound is fast and loud, so the challenge was keeping the guitars heavy without burying the vocals. I balanced the drums and bass, used compression for punch, and shaped the vocal so every line comes through. I’m including it because it shows I can mix music I know well from the inside.

Beyond the console

Music is a business, so I build the audience side, too.

Split Point

I manage social media, design, order, and manage the sale of merchandise (shirts, stickers, CDs), and book shows with other local bands. I also managed the release of our debut CD, Chronically Local, on Spotify, Apple Music, and physical media sold at shows.

Food Fight Music Festival

I founded this festival in 2024 and ran it again in 2025, handling logistics, venues, scheduling, volunteers, and sponsorships. Together, they raised nearly $4,000 for the Hilliard Food Pantry.
