About me:

The short version: I'm a sound designer, post audio mixer, and composer living in Portland, OR with millions of YouTube views across my portfolio from the last few years.  In my spare time, I enjoy music, hiking, running, swimming, vegan baking, bleach-dying my way through my entire closet, and visiting remote American towns.

The slightly longer version: I grew up obsessed with sound. My mother is a violin teacher and improvisation method book author, my dad plays most instruments you can name and many you probably couldn't, and I played piano, cello, and guitar, taking 13 years of serious classical lessons on the former two and practicing to be a rock star on the latter. I got into audio engineering as a teenager as a means to record myself, and that (and a cello-based scholarship) led me through four years at Berklee College of Music, where I graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Music Production and Engineering in 2006.

Shortly thereafter, I moved to Portland, OR with my wife to start a band. When we weren't going on short tours, I started diving into the sound design world, working with local creative agencies and creating and mixing sound effects for clients like Nike, The U of O Ducks and Intel.

When the long-time dream to cut free and drive around the country on tour finally caught back up with my wife and I, we started a new duo called There Is No Mountain and spent 2012-2014 on self-booked tours, ultimately hitting 40 states and playing about 250 gigs. But as we were doing that, I also maintained my budding client list, and since settling back into full-time life in Portland, I haven’t looked back. Over the last decade, I’ve gotten to work on mixing, sound design, and music composition for brands ranging from Adidas to Amazon, Columbia to Tillamook, Magnolia/Discovery+ to Kantola Training Services. I’m extremely grateful to be able to help people tell their stories the best way I know how: using sound.  Contact me at tinmountainaudio@gmail.com or 978.501.4130 if you'd like to know more.
