About
My primary livelihood has been a music supervisor and producer for film and tv and creator of music, but throughout the years, I've written for numerous national publications, including Billboard, Mix, Rolling Stone, Guitar Player, the All-Music Guide, Goldmine, and others. I authored The Expert's Encyclopedia of Recording and Mixing, Recording and Producing Techniques of the Pros. I produced and compiled numerous major and indie label album releases, as well as writing liner notes, on artists ranging from Ricky Nelson, Dave Edmunds, and Lynyrd Skynyrd to Leo Kottke, Jean Luc Ponty, and Big Star. I'm currently working on my first novel.
