Devon was educated at the U.S.'s premier recording school, Full Sail Center For The Recording Arts in Orlando, Florida, graduating in 1994 as class Valedictorian with perfect attendance and the Studio Maintenance Course Directors Award.

After graduation, Devon went to New York City where he was an Engineer and Assistant Engineer for Unique Recording (closed in 2004). Outgrowing that studio in a few months, he moved on to one of the best studios in the country and one of a few like it in the world, Sony Music Studios NYC (closed in 2007).

Devon specializing in recording, was exposed to all of these disciplines and has worked as an assistant engineer or Pro Tools engineer on numerous GRAMMY winning albums. Most notable was his Pro Tools Engineering work for Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill which won four GRAMMYs ( including album of the year )in 1999.

"Thanks Devon, for making ( in light of 7 MTV crew on us the whole time! ), what could have been a very stressful session so enjoyable....technically the studio was certainly up to the mark ( David and I kept thinking we were in N.Y.!) but I was particularly impressed with the creative environment.... chilled and very conducive to writing as well as recording, which was essential to us getting some really strong ideas down for Nick's [Lachey] record. Also, please thank the assistants for me... they knew exactly what we needed, in terms of space and errands....we couldn't have asked for more mate!!!---Tom Nichols ( Celine Dion, Jessica Simpson, Kylie, Hall & Oats, Lindsay Lohane )
