Don Mckinzie is entering his 26th year as a recording engineer and producer. He began his audio production career as a teenager, participating in shows for his high school radio station in Lafayette, Indiana. He later went on to study music education, music performance and audio engineering at Indiana State University. After his college years he moved to Atlanta to continue his engineering work, recording many local and regional music groups at 2560 Recording Studios. In 1986 he began engineering/producing for the critically acclaimed Coast to Coast Top Twenty radio program.

He also engineered and/or produced such memorable programs as "MLK family scrapbook", Footsteps to Freedom", "Moments in Family Literacy", "Morning Memory", "Girltalk", "Dream Concert 90", and many more.
