TJ has had his hands on faders and has been making noise for as long as anyone can remember. Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, TJ grew up playing music. Listening to all things entertainment, TJ transitioned from playing music to recording, tracking, composing, and mixing music.
It wasn't a surprise when he decided to attend Columbia College Chicago’s prestigious audio program where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Audio Art and Acoustics with a dual concentration in Audio Design and Production and Audio for Visual Media. With his newly honed abilities, TJ started a successful recording studio where he worked, practiced, and grew, strengthening his audio skills and affirming his passion for audio art.
Motivated by his sights on post production sound, TJ decided Los Angeles was his next new adventure and challenge. Within his first year of living in Los Angeles, he had worked on two full length independent films and an award winning TV show. He has since worked for such networks as NBC, AMC, MTV, A&E;, HGN, Discovery, History, and many others. Currently, he is a freelance editor/mixer for television and film and a college instructor at Pinnacle College, sharing his passion and teaching all things audio. Looking towards the future, the enthusiasm and drive this young engineer exhibits provides the perfect platform for all opportunities to come!
