I owned EQ Recording Studio. After closing the Ambassador of Arts gallery and selling my home in Bellflower, I moved to Long Beach, CA. One day, during a visit to Barnes & Noble, I discovered the audiobook section, which sparked the idea of creating a home-based recording studio. My initial goal was to produce an audio CD book for my stage play, “Flowers For Beth.”  While auditioning actors for voice-over work, I had an idea to help finance my hired voice-over artists: offering local musicians affordable demo recording sessions. With this plan—and several upgrades—my journey as a recording engineer began. I was also one of the first to run a 16-track studio without a physical mixing board.  In addition to recording local bands in my studio, I was frequently hired by bands to work at other notable studios, including Westlake L.A. Recording Studio, S.I.R., Paramount, IRS Records, Capitol Records, Silver Lake Recordings, and more. My 25 years in recording kept me exceptionally busy.  People often ask why I decided to retire. The answer is simple: it just felt like the right time to step back.
