Austin is originally from Douglassville, Pennsylvania (about an hour from Philadelphia) and did many ensembles in the city. His instructors included Louis Scaglione, Justin Faulkner, and Tony Miceli. All three have shaped the way he plays and have influenced many of his goals for later in life. He then, throughout High School, did many of the different PA-auditioned groups, including the NAfME All Eastern Jazz Band led by Bob Stewart. When he got to college he truly blossomed and started his studio engineering journey with Professor Stephen Roessner. Throughout his life he has believed that his engineering and musical journeys will only grow the more he goes through life. He is still continuing his colligic journey and thanks all the people he has met along the way for their continuous support in his goals.
