I am the Audio Preservation Engineer at New York Public Library, the second largest public audio archive in the US. I preserve and digitally restore audio from all eras and formats, analog and digital, from the 1890s-today.
I am also a mastering engineer, formerly with Universal Music Group/PolyGram Studios, where I remastered hundreds of albums for UMG, Motown, Verve, Island/DefJam and others. (including the Traffic catalog and "This is Spinal Tap" soundtrack)
Currently, I serve as a Member-At-Large on the board of ARSC (Association for Recorded Sound Collections).
