I was born in Venezuela, where I earned a BA in Mass Media at the UCAB in Caracas. After graduating, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in filmmaking.

I was lucky enough to find work in music videos and low-budget commercials as a PA, before joining the staff of Luca Bentivoglio Productions which was, at the time, producing three weekly shows for the national Spanish-Speaking network Univisión.

After a year of hectic travel, red carpets, junkets and music videos, I moved on to the world of language dubbing. I formed a company (Blague Communications, still going strong!) which catered to the corporate industry, and earned a great deal of experience producing and directing projects in up to 18 languages for a number of high-profile multinational companies.

This experience, and my industry contacts, led me to open a studio in 2004, which attracted major projects for DVD distribution and in-flight language dubs into French, Portuguese, Japanese, Spanish and several other languages.

Unfortunately, my experience as a studio owner wasn’t entirely positive. I had to change direction. I did miss the fast-paced life of film production, so I decided to go back to production sound in 2009. After a few web series and a number of festival-bound short films, I established myself as a dedicated professional, and my experience in postproduction proved valuable in offering producers the best possible location recording.

I spent a few years working on TV commercials (for major brands such as Toyota, McDonald's, Campbell's Soup and Little Caesar's, among others) and I had the opportunity to work with such reknowned talent as Jeff Bridges, Betty White, Kevin Hart and Jeff Godlblum. Nowadays I mostly work on episodic television, a very challenging and fast-paced environment which seems to suit my nature.

First of all, though, I’m a family man. Whenever I’m not hunched over my mixing cart at at a sound stage, or cleaning up dialogue in my studio, more often than not I’m bingeing a show on Netflix with my wife or learning about the newest video game from my college-age techie son.
