After studying electrical engineering at UMASS Lowell, he moved to New York City to pursue audio engineering at The Institute of Audio Research.

From there he worked on mastering, starting with a variety of rock bands, including Jesus Jones, Biohazard and Sonic Youth. He moved on to work with early 90s Hip Hop and R&B artists including Fat Joe, Common, The Beatnuts, The Lost Boyz, Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige.
