Editor's Notes

  1. I am a recording/mixing/mastering engineer. I feel that connecting with client’s feelings and emotions while in the studio is a vital component in recreating the client’s music into the music of their dreams.
  2. I entered this world with a big heart, open mind and an endeavor to learn. I was always told to be who I wanted to be, and to not let anyone stop me from being whom I am.
  3. These words have sculpted me into the person that I am today, delving me into the world of audio engineering.
  4. I am a son, a brother, a boyfriend, a full-time student, a pizza-enthusiast, a multi-instrumentalist (mainly drummer), an audio engineer and most of all, a human being.
  5. Out of all the creative activities I’ve partook in, drumming stuck with me the most. As of today, I’ve been playing drums for a little over 9 years. It is a prime example of “practice makes perfect” for me. Without all the passion and practice I’ve undergone, I’d be nowhere near where I am today.
  6. I exist to make others around me and myself happy. If I do something that can help someone around me, I try my best. At the end of the day, if I can help someone and not just myself, I feel successful.
  7. Passion is my motivation. I do what I do solely because I have a strong passion for my extracurricular activities. I feel that without passion, I would have no path set out for me or have any particular skill sets.
  8. I’ve worked in the grill at our local Dairy Queen restaurant. From working there, I learned you must be patient with your co-workers, customers and most of all, yourself. Although this job didn’t quite pertain to my main goal in life, I still took some valuable lessons from the job. I worked at a local pizza place called Nick’s Pizza. Here I learned more personal skills and communication skills. I wasn’t just back in the kitchen the whole time; sometimes I had to buss and wait tables, as well as make the food. I also learned how to operate a cash register and make awesome Italian food.
  9. I’m currently recording the band I am in, Noesis (www.facebook.com/noesismetalIL), finally getting to exercise myself as an audio engineer. This band has been by far the most serious band I’ve been lucky enough to call myself a part of. We’ve made a great name for ourselves in the St. Louis, MO area and in Illinois. I can’t wait to see where the future will take us.
  10. Also, I book concerts in Carlinville, IL and promote them. This takes a lot of communication skills and interpersonal relationships with people that go to shows. This is a strong passion of mine. I thoroughly enjoy seeing people happy to see live music and asking me to book more shows because they had so much fun.
  11. I graduated from Carlinville High School in 2012, being one of the few from my group of friends that actually stuck through it all. After the summer of 2012, I immediately started my Bachelor’s Degree here at Full Sail University Online for Music Production. I am scheduled so far to graduate this October!
  12. I am great with computers. If something has to do with a computer and the knowledge to learn it is available, I can pick it up quickly.
  13. I have an ear for music. I’ve dabbled in music and played in bands since I was the age of 13. I can tell when a song isn’t composed the best and can come up with ways to make the composition flow easier just by speaking with the composer. This makes it easy to help my band’s guitarist write material for us whenever he is in a bind.
  14. I am down-to-earth and very easy to talk to. I know I can’t control everything that happens in my life, or other’s lives. The world is what you make it, and I stick to those words.
  15. Foster all your skills and attributes that define you. Sticking with one skill can drag you down, especially if you know you are capable of doing more.
  16. Surround yourself with people that actually care about what you’re doing. The more that people are interested, the more they will be willing to help you, learn from you and use the skills you may have shown them in the process in a way you may not have thought of.
  17. Be open to anything. Ideas become a lot more creative if you keep an open mind and allow others to add on to your ideas.
  18. A strong will to get heard, refuse to give up anything I start.
  19. I’m a perfectionist; I try my hardest to compete with the best of the best.
  20. Giving up my desire for music and playing music for over a year while in an unhealthy relationship. Don’t let anyone stop you from your dreams.
  21. Getting to open for Whitechapel, The Contortionist, Chon and many more with my band, Noesis.
  22. Being asked to premiere in a magazine from California (Gentleman Genius), when we’re from Illinois.
  23. Receiving a lot of attention from St. Louis’ major concert promoters.
  24. I would love to work in a place where people appreciate great music just like I do. For instance, a record label or recording studio. Something that will allow me to still be creative while performing live music and recording my music. I hope my work leads me to touring around the world and meeting new people wherever I go.
  25. Success, to me, means that you’ve fulfilled your inner desires. That means that anything you’ve wanted to do, you’ve accomplished it fully. Also, success comes to me through helping others through my music and any other way.
