ABOUT ME
I'm a Philadelphia-based location sound mixer, post-production audio engineer, sound designer and composer.
As a location sound mixer I’ve worked extensively in all types of film production - narrative, documentary, reality, commercial - bringing to each project a discerning ear, a courteous and professional demeanor, and effective communication in collaboration with other departments. I believe my job on set is to capture performances, whether it is a film, a documentary interview, or a commercial, and I will use my equipment and skill set to advocate for and protect those performances.
These same values apply to the work I do in post. I excel at working independently and taking initiative, ensuring efficient workflows and delivering high-quality results, as well as thriving in close collaboration with directors to bring their creative vision to life. With over 15 years of experience in film and theatre - as an actor, sound designer, composer and producer - I have a strong understanding of the broad and nuanced aspects of storytelling, an excitement for collaborating with others as well as generating new ideas, and a deep passion for using sound design and original music to tell those stories.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tom both as a sound designer for my theater work as well as a production sound mixer and post-audio engineer for my film work and I can say, without a doubt, that he is a complete pro! On our most recent film our tight schedule had us shooting 20+ set ups a day, yet we never for a moment had to wait for sound and the audio Tom captured was clean, dynamic, and crystal clear. The quality level of the audio he captured brought our project to the next level. I very much look forward to working with Tom again and can say that anyone creating high-level, professional video or film work would benefit greatly from having Tom as part of their team.”
