About Me.

Sam Mikelic is a Los Angeles-based Location Sound Mixer, Recordist, Boom Operator, and Sound Utility.

Born in Sacramento, CA, Sam attended a Middle School and High School with a world-class Radio & Television programs as an alternative to Physical Education. While most students were focused on the camera side of the classes, Sam was always drawn to Sound.

​Learning the craft and making it his priority at such a young age, Sam earned an internship at a 50,000 watt FM radio station by the time he was 15. While interning for the Music Director, Sam moved from pulling carts and tracking logs to running the board for the 7p-11p slot twice weekly for the remainder of his high school years. He also interned at a local CBS-affiliate television station in their news department for 2 years.

Sam moved to San Diego, CA after High School and attended Palomar College. There, Sam's education included working on set within the Sound Department of their Radio and Television Program and was an engineer at the college radio station.

After completing several student films, Sam began a 15-year career in consumer electronics while remaining involved in the creation of film and web-based content as passion projects.  As these projects presented themselves with more frequency, and after connecting with other Sound Mixers and Producers in the industry, Sam started his own business as a freelance Sound Mixer in 2016.


tl:dr - Sam LOVES recording sound of the highest quality for all forms of media.
