About

I’m a music producer, recording engineer, and mixer originally from New York City, where I began my career working at many of the city’s top recording studios, including RPM, Record Plant, Electric Lady, Penny Lane, Marathon, and Master Sound, as well as studios throughout the U.S. and abroad.

In 1993, I founded Pilot Recording Studios on West 19th Street in Manhattan. Over the years, Pilot became home to an extraordinary range of projects, including numerous Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated records, along with hundreds of collaborations with artists and musicians from around the world.

In 2007, I relocated Pilot to Great Barrington, Massachusetts, transforming a beautifully restored church into the studio I had always envisioned. Today, Pilot continues to produce exceptional recordings across a wide range of musical genres, while also serving the film and television industries with ADR, orchestration, and voice-over services.

I’ve built the studio of my dreams, and I still love what I do. Whether producing, engineering, or mixing, my goal remains the same: to bring out the best in every artist and every project.

If you’re planning your next record or have a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch.
