HEAR MY WORK

As a kid, I loved playing video games.

As an adult, not much is different.

I am a Senior Sound Designer at NetherRealm studios in Chicago, where I record, edit, and design sounds for various WB Games titles. Prior to working at NetherRealm I was a studio engineer at Dubway Studios in New York City, working on a wide variety of projects, including award-winning animated children’s shows and music recording projects.

In addition to video games I love Liverpool Football Club, mixing cocktails, and walking everywhere.

Feel free to get in touch via LinkedIn or Twitter. I’d love to hear from you.
