About
Certified Sound Healing & Brain Health Practitioner | 30+ Years Audio & Visual Artist
My mission is to reinvigorate the human spirit through the safe, anatomical mastery of sound. I am a Certified Sound Healing and Brain Health Practitioner (ALLEGRA Learning Solutions), specializing in the clinical application of frequency and neuroplasticity. By bridging the gap between world-class performance and neurological wellness, I help students find maximum power through Neuro-Vocal grounding.
My Professional Lineage: My journey was forged under the mentorship of "American Metal Legend" Tim Aymar (Control Denied/Pharaoh) and engineering journeyman James Murphy (Death/Testament). I began my studies in 1986 with Mark English (Monstrosity), integrated spoken word into my playing by 1988, and began engineering band rehearsals in 1990. My vocal foundation was built under the guidance of CJ Szuter (Enuff Z'Nuff).
Clinical Expertise:
-
Music Therapy & Sound Healing: Specialized training in nervous system regulation and the use of acoustic resonance to reduce cortisol and improve grounding.
-
Brain Health & Neuroplasticity: Research-based techniques to improve motor learning and overcome cognitive performance blocks.
Whether writing for my band, Consumed X Chemistry, or working with students in Vancouver, WA, I bring three decades of performance expertise to every session.
Teaching Style
Vocal Specialist: SLS Technique, Multi-Genre Coaching & Certified Neuro-Vocal Sound Healing
My teaching method is rooted in Speech Level Singing (SLS) and Vocal Anatomy. I specialize in the most demanding vocal styles—from compressed false chord and fry screaming to dramatic operatic soprano—ensuring that every sound is produced with zero risk of permanent damage to the vocal folds.
What we will focus on in our sessions:
-
Neuro-Vocal Integration: Using my certifications to help you stimulate the Vagus nerve, manage performance anxiety, and "anchor" your voice in the body.
-
Extreme Vocal Health: We deconstruct the mechanics of "Dirty" vocals to build a voice that lasts. I provide in-depth discussions on internalizing technique so you understand the biological "why" behind the power.
-
Maximum Power & Control: We utilize SLS science to ensure your technique is effortless, powerful, and anatomically sustainable for the long term.
Curriculum
"My teaching method is a specialized fusion of Speech Level Singing (SLS) and Acoustic Grounding. I focus on the anatomical 'why' behind the voice, ensuring the larynx remains stable to eliminate vocal strain across all genres.
By integrating my 2026 certifications in Brain Health and Music Therapy, I utilize 'Neuro-Vocal' techniques to help students manage performance anxiety and improve motor learning. We don't just work on the vocal folds; we work on the nervous system to unlock your natural resonance and maximum power."
