Doctoral of flute, saxophonist, clarinetist, arranger, and recording engineer. I can do a lot, and most of it well.
I am a seasoned flutist and woodwind doubler who has been performing professionally for over two decades. DMA, MM, & BA, I've studied flute with Nicole Esposito and Immanuel Davis, saxophone with the late great Dr. Eugene Rousseau, and clarinet with Jorge Montilla. I have become somewhat of a 'low flute' specialist (think members of the family who play the larger flutes you don't often see in a band or orchestra) and played 3rd in the 2025 National Flute Association's Low Flute Artist competition. I have toured nationally as a pit musician, played in symphonies, and served in the US Army as a musician. I'm an experienced recording engineer and worked in live sound while in the army. I transcribe and arrange prolifically, with arrangements having been performed by The US Army Band and the members of the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington to name a few.
I work as a freelance recording engineer, mostly in the classical realm. Recording/live-streaming recitals, music for release, audition reels, and the like. I've built up a fair bit of skills and a growing collection of microphones that have served me well. I have the ability to record with different mics simultaneously to allow you to choose the sound that fits best within the mix.
Hit me up and see what I can do for you, I'm honest about my abilities and will strive to be the perfect fit for your project.

check_circleVerifiedAmazing work by Ryan on the flute recording. He played the piece beautifully and delivered high-quality audio with a quick turnaround. I’ll definitely reach out again for future projects. Highly recommended!
check_circleVerifiedRyan did great with this project. He's new to the Sound Better platform so he doesn't have a backlog of reviews, but did great and provided professional, clean sounding recordings for me to use. Additionally Ryan was quick to provide an alternative take after receiving notes.
Reach out and see how you can incorporate him into your project !
