The one behind the lab
I got my start at Grace Design and went on to run HeadRoom as president and CEO. Over 25 years I've shepherded audio hardware from prototype into production, built software, produced records, and stayed close to the music the whole time.
What I do best is sit between the engineering and the music, knowing enough about both to push a product toward something people can feel. I've been doing the work of product for a long time, whatever the title on the door happened to be.
Employee #1
Production, testing, repair, prototyping, and the automated measurement system the gear was tested against. Two founders and me, to twenty people and gear in studios worldwide.
VP Ops → President & CEO
Relaunched the entire headphone-amplifier line: every model from concept through prototype into production.
Building in public
An open field manual for building your own headphones — thirty-two chapters, free to read. It starts with the Daily Driver: a 40 mm open-back that's forgiving to build and good enough to keep wearing.
