I'm a drummer of fifteen years. I play locally in Erie, PA, with theTorch band at the Lake Erie Christian Fellowship and session drum at times with their Sunday morning praise and worship team. I'm available for session drumming to anyone in the area--genres covered include just about anything--live or studio work. I build my own drums, play Meinl Byzance cymbals, use Remo drumheads, and sling Vic Firth X5a drumsticks like a beast.

I'm an amateur photographer of five years. I have no aspirations to go pro or start selling my services. It's totally a stress relief thing for me. I shoot Canon D-SLR cameras and Tamron lenses.

I'm a professional graphic designer for Mass Luminosity. Five years of time spent with ML as of this coming November, ten years total experience. I used to do freelance, but I choose not to these days. It's totally not worth the headaches it causes...

I'm a creative writer as time allows. I'm in the middle of writing a collection of science fiction novels, although the project is indefinitely on hold until I get through medical school. I blog like it's nobody's business still as time allows me to. Check out my Tumblr if you're up for reading some random gibberish that's flowed out from the inner machine of my warped mind.

I'm an audio engineer, self taught. Apple Logic Studio is my sequencer of choice. My services are restricted to close friends and those interested in my session drumming (it allows me to lay down tracks and send them anywhere in the country.) I can edit, mix, and master drum tracks like a champ. I still usually recruit others to help with mixing and mastering full works. An extra pair of ears always helps the process.

* I have an unhealthy obsession with penguins.
* I love fixing Asian food. Yes, I can cook.
* All of my computing equipment is named after characters from the Twilight saga. Edward is my MacBook Pro, Alice is my wireless network, and Carlisle is my Nintendo Wii (I would like to thank Dr. Shaffer and the Westminster College Linux Lab for the inspiration.)

The Guardians is a science-fiction novel that I'm currently working on. It's all about Eve, an immortal woman residing in present-day Chicago. Eve, a member of the Guardians, an ancient order bound to protecting the human race, is working towards a solution to one of the order's biggest problems, but when she finally has a major breakthrough in her research, things take a turn for the worst as she's confronted with the betrayal of a former flame.

The writing of the novel is really just getting underway, so a tentative date for completion is impossible to produce. Keep checking back for updates and previews though, as I'll post them as often as I possibly can.

I sequence with Apple Logic Studio on my MacBook Pro. I record with Shure and MXL microphones into a Tascam 16-channel interface. Drum tracks, mainly for my session work as a drummer, are my comfort zone and specialty. I don't mix and master entire works too often, at least not on my own.

At the current time, I'm not offering my audio engineering services to the public. I've only worked with bands that I've been a part of, lending a hand with my expertise as time allowed. Over the last few years, I've worked with Soulless, Onesize, Frontline, and theTorch band.

Coming soon.
