I am a music producer, recording and mixing engineer, and product developer based in Boise, Idaho, where I also co-own and operate The Tonic Room Recording Studio. My background includes B2B sales for Lucent Technologies, where I managed global accounts like Amazon.com. Now, in addition to working on EKOShower everyday, I currently co-own and operate The Tonic Room Recording Studio in Boise, ID.

My journey into professional audio began in 2001. After establishing several project recording studios, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and joined Clair Brothers Audio, a leading audio touring company. There, I gained extensive experience in audio production and installation, learning from renowned engineers such as Dan Heins and Bob Linguia. From 2002 to 2005, I toured the US with Nashville recording artists Larue and later with the Seattle band Maktub, featuring Reggie Watts.

In 2005, I co-founded The Tonic Room Recording Studio in Boise with my business partner, Chris Parks. Together, we have recorded, mixed, co-produced, and mastered over 250 records for both local and national artists. Some notable projects include recordings for Joe Jackson, Built To Spill, Brett Netson and Snakes, Josh Ritter, Eagles of Death Metal, Finn Riggins, Kevin Kirk and Onomatopoeia, and Supersuckers.

Beyond the studio, I designed and installed all the radio production and live performance studios, broadcast master rack, acoustics, telecommunications, and data equipment for KRBX Radio Boise in 2011, serving as the new community radio station's first operations manager.

In 2014, I co-founded the Boise Hive, an all-ages, non-profit musician's resource center, and currently serve as its Chairman of the Board.

In 2021, we developed the first functional EKOShower prototype which provided a great shower experience. With that huge technological hurdle cleared I decided to focus my efforts on the product development, product launch and initialsales of EKOShower.

Born in rural Wisconsin, the son of a cheese maker, my passion for music started at an early age. I performed in several bands throughout high school and college, and as a drummer, I am proficient in various music genres, from rock to jazz. Additionally, I am an avid backpacker and coastal sailor, holding a certification as a skipper for sailboats up to 45 feet from the American Sailing Association. I strongly believe in water conservation and enjoy all outdoor activities, including skiing.
