Twenty-five years in, and I'm still in it because I love it.
I've spent my career in the trenches of Chicago's creative and production scene, working across broadcast, digital, branded content, and music. I know what it takes to bring a project from a rough idea to a final deliverable that actually holds up, and I care deeply about every step in between.
Trick Industries is the official version of something I've been building my whole life.
I studied Audio Engineering at Columbia College Chicago, and I've spent years on both sides of the glass as an engineer, a producer, an editor, and at one point, a teacher. What I've learned is that the technical side and the creative side are not separate things. The best work happens when both are firing at the same time.
What I care about is simple: bringing your vision to life. No shortcuts or generic output. Just great work, done right, by someone who's been doing this long enough to know the difference.
