Work Examples
Feel free to check out some of the short clips I’ve uploaded below. Each showcase my abilities in certain roles in the sound department. Mostly sound mixer roles, quite a bit of post production sound design, and the occasional boom op or music production gig. For a full list of my work please see my IMDb page.
Enjoy!
Bruce Willis: Detective Knight
After growing up watching films like Die Hard and The Fifth Element, working with Bruce was a dream come true. Easy going and very professional, Mr. Willis and the rest of the cast and crew made it easy to capture clean, crisp, and great sounding dialog on set. We faced some challenges during the shoot out scenes but we were able to create solid, interesting, and dynamic audio tracks for post to work with.
Bruce Willis stars as Detective Knight in this 3 part feature film series. I did the production sound mixing in Las Cruces, NM for Detective Knight: Rogue.
Aaron Eckhard & Tommy Lee Jones: Wander
This feature film was a blast to shoot! Also starring Heather Graham and Brendan Fehr and shot entirely in New Mexico this thriller was both a challenge and a learning experience. We had some very physical scenes but our lavaliers performed excellently and I had a great boom op who helped me capture some very clean yet grungy sound only found in the southwest!

Luke Wilson: The Best Man
Unfortunately I had no boom op or utility for this film so I mixed and boomed it myself. With all the actors and the fighting/shoot out scenes I was definitely challenged on this one. Never-the-less I think the film came out sounding great but you tell me what you think!

Mel Gibson: Hot Seat
An exciting production to work on from day one, Mel Gibson and Kevin Dillon bring their A games and it was a pleasure to work with them both. Kevin is one of the hardest working and easy going actors I’ve had the fortune to work with and Mel is just great all around. I’ve been very lucky in my career so far…

Stephen Dorff: The Price We Pay
Horror/thrillers are always fun to make and the entire cast, which includes Gigi Zumbado and Emile Hirsch, were a blast to work with! I had a great time gathering the haunting echoing screams from some of the cast at our incredible locations in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I also make a brief cameo as the getaway driver, a really fun watch for sure and the post sound team did some interesting things with the mix, definitely check it out!

Tyrese Gibson: Helen’s Dead
Every actor on this film was a charm to work with and having such a great crew helped our sound department achieve wonderful production audio. Take a listen!

White Blood: Production Sound & Post Production Sound Design
This is a feature length film that I literally did everything for. I had no boom op on set so I did the production sound alone and I did all the post sound minus the final mix which was done in a mix studio in LA. This film is a good example of my abilities to take a film from production all the way through post and keep the tones of the film consistent.
I was the production sound mixer as well as the post production sound designer on this feature film.
Shala: My 2nd film and 1st award
Shot in 2010 in Maharashtra India, Shala (School) went on to win numerous awards one of which I got from the state of Maharashtra itself. From what I understand the Maharashtra State Award isn’t typically given to foreigners so I was so proud when they announced I had won. I split the $1000 prize money with the post dialog editor and the re-recording mixer for taking my tracks and elevating them to a place where they could be heard for what they were, award worthy. On top of this, not a single line of ADR!
This was the second film I ever sound mixed and I won the Maharashtra State Award for it in 2011. Zero ADR. Multiple international awards for sound and other departments as well!
Sound Design Demo: Subject 7
In this brief comparison of a short film BEFORE and AFTER going through post sound design, I show you what post sound editors typically deal with and how we transform your production tracks into theater worthy sound design.
