I’ve spent many years in the field as a production sound mixer. Consequently, I sure have gathered up a fair quantity of photos! Since they aren’t doing anyone any good just sitting on my computer, I decided to build a […]
I went to Hawaii for fun. Later I found a 4-day gig at the Hilton Waikoloa that paid for the whole trip with money left to bring home. The trip lasted over a month. Why do I not do this […]
Your sound mixer has arrived and principal photography has begun for Seven Hours in Heaven! …and to call this location “heaven” might even be an understatement. We are about to spend 8 days in a cabin with some of our […]
Sometimes I even put down my recording gear, surrender my position as Sound Mixer and take up arms–in Steampunk Style. My life in film actually began in theatre way back in the high schools so it is always very nice […]

Paris, France :: After staying up late chatting with Stacey last night, our day started out somewhat slowly. We even received a call from the front desk early this morning. They first asked (what seemed like) for us to quiet […]
Paris, France :: It was Wednesday, May 31 when our trip began with a luxurious ride to Newark, New Jersey in the ’84 Buick Skyhawk furnished with a cornucopia of foodstuffs from Mom. What a car! What a ride! What […]
