A Brief Synopsis of my 2010 Training Workshops (180 hours)
Mixing(Served as Participant): Session 1. I developed my own approach towards mixing. I was
taught how to find a balance between free-form experimentation and a more calculated approach.
A strong foundation of skills and knowledge in music recording and audio production was passed
down to me from mentors. (May-Chillicothe, OH)
Studio Classes (Served as Participant): Session 2. I shared in learning how to use Studio
equipment along with how to edit and process music and raw audio. (June-Chillicothe, OH)

“Give an engineer a cable and he’ll record for a day, but teach him how to make one and he’ll be
wired for life.” (July-Chillicothe, OH)
