But attention spans are short and expectations are very high.

Our album was a mix of many styles, and he met each one with skillfulness and flexibility. Mark was very thorough, and worked very hard on getting our songs to sound in ways that we liked. He really cared about our project, was patient, and went the extra mile to create high quality work, for which we are very grateful.
Ruta & Kevin
Working with Mark is awesome. He has a deep knowledge of sound and a ton of experience. He’s an excellent listener and delivered exactly what I asked for. I’ve worked with him on multiple projects including a commercial and short form videos, on which he went above and beyond to make sure I got what I needed and all before deadline. I can’t recommend Mark enough!
Stephanie Ewens
It was a pleasure to work with Mark. He is an absolute professional who adapts to his client’s needs, working on budget and on time, while still maintaining the highest standards of quality. He’s a perfectionist for your work. I’m looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Mark helped make my burgeoning video production practice into a polished reality. I learned approaches to working with image and sound that I still use in my work today.
Josh Weinstein
Mark always delivered. Even when that meant crazy hours, and impossible requests.
