THE TEAM
ALLISON CASEY
Allison Casey, our resident Midwesterner, comes from Westland, Michigan. She is the owner, senior mixer, and potted-plant specialist at GP — a title she worked up to from unpaid intern, which is either the best origin story in the business or a testament to what happens when you refuse to go home at night (or both!). In
her copious free time she enjoys cycling, hiking, generally touching grass, and saying hi to other people’s dogs. She’s won an Emmy for her sound mixing, a trophy that we suspect will soon be joined on the shelf by a Customer of the Century award from Harney & Sons, for single-handedly keeping the Earl Grey division afloat.
JAMES SPANO
Gramercy’s studio manager James hails from Sayville, Long Island. He studied Music Tech at NYU and is an avid NY Rangers fan. James is very into weather, and plans to be a meteorologist in his next life. When he’s not spending time with his wife and two daughters, he likes to play tennis. And if he could participate in a reality show, he’d rewind it back to 1994 and appear on Nickelodeon’s Legends of the Hidden Temple.
JOE WEBSTER
Joe is a Jersey native – but, like, the country part of Jersey. He toured in a bunch of crappy punk rock bands and eventually started recording them. After a couple years of drinking too many PBR’s in college campus housing basements, he made post production his home in the big city. Joe would love to test out his horrible cooking skills on Nailed It!
RACHEL RUGGLES
Rachel hails from Berkeley, California though has called New York City home for the past 12 years. When she’s not immersed in Izotope RX or in the booth recording foley, you can find her with her violin strapped to her back, touring the globe as one half of the cinematic pop duo, Gracie and Rachel. A friend to the vegetable and a flirt to the dessert, in another world she’s planting seeds and chef-ing at a farm to table restaurant.
KELSEY O'CONNELL
Kelsey is the most recent transplant to grace the studio, originally growing up in North Carolina and moving to the city in 2025. She had vague aspirations towards biochemistry before ultimately deciding that studio work is much more fun than lab work. In her spare time she enjoys doing handstands and dreaming of the day she can return to her farm-girl roots with a ferret and/or more general menagerie of her very own.
DAVID STOLLINGS
David rounds out Gramercy’s Michigan contingent, hailing from Redford (and if you want the full picture, Allison has known him since high school and has the stories to prove it). He handles all things tech and networking at the studio, making him both the most indispensable person in the building and the one fielding panicked Slacks when the internet goes down. He’s a lifelong Detroit Tigers fan, and once mixed the only Broadway play ever to take the Garden’s stage, to a crowd of 18,000 NYC school kids. In another life he’s running a senior dog rescue upstate… and probably wiring that place for ethernet too. His dream TV appearance: Star Trek: The Next Generation.
ANDRÉA DOVE
Andréa grew up on a soybean and sweet potato farm in Southern Maryland — which explains a lot, yet also very little. Her first foray into picture finishing may have been the videos she and her sister filmed of their haunted houses on a VHS camcorder, which met its end on the very stairs it was documenting. She has already appeared on America’s Funniest Home Videos (we’re still waiting on the YouTube link, stay tuned), so by most metrics she peaked in the 90s… though she and her mom are still holding out for a shot at The Amazing Race.
WILL WHATLEY
Will grew up in Trumbull, Connecticut, and spent his 20s doing the kind of things that make for great stories at dinner: touring the US and UK as a drummer, getting his scuba license in Honduras, and running with the bulls in Spain. These days he channels that energy into his mixing, with a particular deft hand on independent films — unflappable in a session, and always seems to have another story up his sleeve. Somewhere in the multiverse, he’s a marine biologist.
