Production sound should help the set move smoothly and make the story feel natural. I bring a calm, practical approach to each shoot, with the gear and preparation needed to capture clean dialogue in changing locations.
I work across narrative, documentary, commercial and corporate projects with a focus on dependable tracks that hold up in post. Before the first take, I look for the details that can slow a production down: noisy rooms, wardrobe challenges, wireless coordination and timecode needs.
Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I support productions throughout West Michigan and travel across the Midwest when the project calls for it. My focus is simple: protect the performance, keep the audio dependable and give post a track they can trust.
