MEET OUR TEAM
A musician and audio engineer by profession, our CEO Steve studied composition at Juilliard.
Steve completed his music degree at Brown University, where he also studied audio engineering and studio technique. After graduating, he taught music theory and recording at Brown’s Music Department.
“My dad loved to listen to music, and got a piano which he never played. I was banging on it at 3 or 4, and took lessons from a very dreary teacher which may have caused more harm than good. I started on drum lessons when 7, and stuck with that, and they are my best instrument by far. My most formal training is in composition.”

“. . . I took lessons from a very dreary teacher which may have caused more harm than good.”
Currently, Steve manages recordings for the Brown University music department, sings with the Brown University Chorus, runs Brown’s Klezmer band, and plays jazz and experimental music whenever he gets a chance. The technology behind the Your Heaven® Audio Systems was born in his basement while he was still a student, when he started building devices to help him with recording his drums for recording class assignments.

Some of Steve’s favorite musical memories:
“I have too many to pick one!”
“I got to play a slide projector with John Cage once. I got to see Miles Davis play live in a small NYC club before he passed on. And the moments when I played with people and the results were great – random events in a basement or performance when something just goes really well and you know it – are things that keep me inspired.”
“There is a line through history of people who made great contributions and great music, among them Machaut, Lassus, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Miles Davis… I’d like to meet anyone who is next in that line, to work with them and make great music also.”
