Starting his career in the early 90's doing live sound in the Seattle club scene, he soon moved into the studio to record demos and small projects for local bands. Frequently assisting producer Jack Endino, he got a great deal of invaluable hands on experience, as well as poignant mentoring and advice. By 1993, he had naturally branched out on his own, and would start a long and fruitful collaboration with Up Records. A pivotal point in his career was producing Built To Spill's second full-length release, “There’s Nothing Wrong With Love". Proving to be a creative, as well as a critical success, the album ranked in Spin Magazines top ten indie records of all time in 2003, and led the way to producing many of today's recognized recording artists.
Some of his recent projects have been, The Shins' "Chutes Too Narrow”, Les Savy Fav's “Go Forth", and the Grammy nominated David Cross’ “Shut Up You Fucking Baby.”
