01JacksonvilleSound mixer in Jacksonville
Jacksonville and Northeast Florida: game days, documentaries, commercials and corporate work, plus St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and Gainesville. I cover it all from Tampa with a complete package.

What I record in Northeast Florida
Sports country
- Sports broadcast: Jacksonville game days, golf at Ponte Vedra and college football country. My credit list runs through ESPN, NFL Network, SEC Network, Golf Channel, PGA Tour Entertainment and Fox Sports. This is the ENG work I've done thousands of times.
- Documentary: long-form and verité from the St. Johns River to Amelia Island, including multi-day field production.
- Commercial & corporate: spots, brand films and corporate video with IFB for the client in the room.
One trip, the whole region
Jacksonville to Gainesville
- Northeast Florida in one booking: Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island and Gainesville. If your story spans the region, one sound department covers it.
- Mileage, not airfare: travel past 50 miles from Tampa bills at the standard federal mileage rate. Far cheaper than flying a mixer into JAX with gear cases.
- Multi-day ready: docuseries and multi-day shoots across the region are routine.
The package and the track record
Full-time since 2008
