He was the one responsible for the digital recordings of shows offered from They Might Be Downloads from 2004 to 2007 (along with Dan Miller), and is also given recording credits for The Spine Hits The Road, Almanac, and the live tracks from Venue Songs. On the latter, he is credited with engineering and mixing the album. He is also credited with mixing the live rendition of "She's Actual Size" for 2002's Dial-A-Song compilation.
