The Last Ship is primarily a play about community; it was important that all of us telling the story formed our own community of spirit and common purpose. Dean understood this implicitly, both as musician (he stood in as drummer on a number of occasions) and in the musicians he selected for our ensemble as music coordinator. I couldn’t have been happier.

Whether producing my records or supervising my shows, Dean is sensitive, focused, and in command. From four musicians to forty, he consistently puts together the finest orchestras I have ever heard.

Not only did Dean hire a first-rate ensemble of truly fine players, they were also great to get on with, making my work an absolute pleasure. As a music producer, Dean also brings world class expertise and focus to the often perfunctory enterprise of cast recordings. I am always excited to work with him.

Dean is a total pro. Working with him I am always confident that the artistic needs of the production are being met 110% without ever sacrificing the bottom line. On top of that, he is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Dean hires some of the finest musicians I have ever worked with. They enjoy their jobs, feel well taken care of, and give 100% all the time. His impressive organizational skills and attention to detail are matched only by his kindness and effortless leadership. Dean is also an exceptional musician and a wonderful colleague.

I love working with Dean. He is organized, professional, and collaborative, which is crucial to success in our business.

I love Dean’s web-based orchestra administration system. It streamlines and secures the entire payroll process and makes my job easier. I wish I had it on all our shows!

Dean builds incredible bands, creates a great vibe, AND takes care of business in an organized and comprehensive way. I’m eager to get the word out.

Dean has brought a completely fresh approach to the routine payroll process. His web-based system is both efficient and secure, and provides impeccable detail and accuracy. It is a joy to work with him.

Dean made the Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson album everything we were hoping for. It has the polish and punch of the studio, yet retains all the energy and immediacy of the live show.
