Filmography

Selected work includes multiple seasons of Discovery’s Highway Thru Hell, the Netflix competition series Million Dollar Secret, the factual series Timber Titans, CBC’s The Assembly, and the feature film Lost Lake Confessions. Alongside production sound, my work includes sound editorial, design and final mixing for narrative and documentary productions.
From the first recording to the final mix.
My work spans the studio, the set, the stage and the final mix. That breadth connects performance and critical listening with the engineering behind a reliable recording session, broadcast or finished soundtrack.
Whether recording dialogue, mixing a live performance or shaping sound in post, I plan around the creative brief, the working environment and the final deliverables. Microphone selection, clear signal flow and careful monitoring inform the result.
I lead audio workflows, collaborate within larger production teams and handle complete audio post-production independently. Clear communication, practical troubleshooting and attention to detail carry through every part of the process.
