Personal
Reflections...

4.
My
whole
life
has
been
focused
on
my
love
of
music
and
audio.
Straight
out
of
high
school
I
traveled
all
over
the
country
as
a
keyboardist
in
a
Top
40
cover
band,
playing
a
vast
variety
of
music
while
sampling
the
joys
of
new
places,
friends,
and
local
cuisines.
From
there,
I
moved
into
the
composing
and
recording
studio
scene
in
Orlando,
finally
moving
to
Seattle
in
1994
to
work
with
the
City’s
finest
engineers
and
studios.
After
5
years,
I
was
hired
by
Microsoft
to
work
in
their
Production
Studios.
The
adventure
bug
bit
after
8
years,
so
I
started
my
own
studio
and
business.
I’m
a
dog-­‐hearted
guy.
Currently,
my
wife
and
I
have
two
rescued
(and
very
spoiled)
greyhounds.
I
enjoy
discovering
great
new
music
and
technology,
exploring
food
and
wine,
and
have
an
undying
fondness
for
traveling,
adventure,
and
spontaneity.
