At six, a shoebox tape recorder was my portal to magic, inspiring a lifelong love for recording. Piano lessons came next, a gift from my musical mom. Drums beckoned at nine, a legacy from my dad, while a pawn shop guitar unlocked a hidden talent at fifteen. The obsession grew, fueled by makeshift boom-box overdubs and high school bands like "Eight Minutes to Earth" and "The End of Day Marbles." Phoenix saw my studio dream realized as Trampled Fruit Records, before LA beckoned with its own musical adventures.
Today, I'm proud to share my latest and greatest music with the album "Quarantunes."
I'll jam in a garage, a dive bar, or a penthouse suite - as long as there's music, I'm home. Check out my tunes and stay tuned for more!
From recording radio-style stories in a shoebox tape recorder to crafting full-length novels, storytelling has always been my passion. "Flight," my first novel written at 13, led to a lifelong journey of writing thrillers, comedies, and elaborate adventures.
Currently, I'm excited to announce my upcoming release, "Ashling," slated for later this year, a meticulously crafted tale that's been years in the making. Additionally, I'm deep in pre-production for my next novel, codenamed "Wish." Beyond novels, I'm collaborating on seven television and animation series projects, alongside a slate of short stories. Stay tuned for more captivating tales from my pen!
Since the early '80s, when I was just eight, I've been hooked on coding. From those days typing code into a big brick of a computer for my dad, I've evolved into a coding wizard. Whether it's developing robust pipelines for studios like Aaron Sims Creative or whipping up handy artist tools for Maya, Max, and Nuke, I thrive on problem-solving with lines of code.
With a knack for rigging, dynamics, and database programming, I've tackled everything from ASP to Python, making computers my playground. And let's face it, in this digital age, knowing the language of our computer overlords is essential. Let me put my coding prowess to work for you and solve your tech challenges with style.

I worked with Adam on the short film "Cowboy Dreams" directed by Paul DeNigris starring Bill Engvall and Danny Trejo, where Adam was the on-set Sound Mixer. In a time where the quality of audio on indie film is typically neglected, Adam brings a professionalism, attention to detail and quality to work that raises the bar for independent films. The

J. Andres BerksteinAdam is a highly skilled, highly motivated production and postproduction guru who for several years was one of my most trusted collaborators on a number of projects.

Paul DeNigrisOne of the challenges with building a site is collecting all of the content – even if you already have it available -and getting it web ready and posted. Over the years I’ve produced so much stuff that tracking it all down, organizing it and getting it into my website has turned into a real […]
Most people don’t program their websites with Cold Fusion. I’m one of a few who does, and I’ve been doing it since 2003. I had previously been an ASP and PHP developer for sites while I was working my way through college, and while I was trying to make extra money the first several years […]
New Website – New Cards – New Looks I’ve had a website revamp on my to-do list for almost 3 years now. It’s always such a daunting task to go through and redesign, redevelop and rebuilt an entire website. Especially when you’re working a full time job and juggling many projects all at the same […]
