J earned his certification in Recording Engineering and Music Production at The Recording Workshop, in Ohio. He also obtained a certificate in Music Business from Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, and an Accounting Degree from a Massachusetts State College. Later, in Nashville, he attended the Pro Tools Training Center and received his certification in Digidesign's Pro Tools. J also received a diploma in Audio Technology at SAE Institute of Technology and graduated with high honors. He later became the head instructor of their entire program adding to his credits as an instructor at numerous other audio programs across the country.

The first, entitled "Pro Tools A...Z,"  gives a comprehensive look into Digidesign's industry-standard software presented as a textbook in an easy to follow format.
