Bio
Originally from Eastern Europe, I have been in sound since 2009. Graduated from SAE San Francisco's Audio Engineering program in 2010. Interned at Prairie Sun recording studio and have been doing audio professionally ever since.
Being born in the home of an electrical engineer and a classically trained piano teacher has strongly influenced my musical development as well as my curiosity and love for technology.

"Arno is dedicated to his craft. With patience and skill he uses the available tools to his maximum benefit to generate a result that is outstanding.
Arno gets an A+ from me for communication, punctuality, reliability, and his ability to predict what problematic situations may arise and preempt them by design. He is not afraid to ask questions about something for which he does not know the answer, a skill I wish more people had. Arno is on my short list for engineering calls."
