Ted moved back to Toronto from Boston in 1974 after attending Berklee College of Music. He soon began working as a studio drummer, but his passion for audio production quickly led him to start his own jingle production company, Rosnick Productions, in 1975. Through hard work and dedication, he rapidly established himself as Canada’s top audio producer and audio director for commercials. Ted went on to partner up with Steve McKinnon in 1991, forming RMW Music. For decades, they were the top music production company in Canada before selling to Vapor Music in 2016. Since the sale, Ted has remained with Vapor as a Creative Director, continuing to bring his expertise and passion to many projects and to the

industry. His work is recognized not just in Canada but globally, having shaped the sound of major brands like IKEA, Molson, Subaru, Mercedes, Peroni, and Heinz, among many others. Over his five-decade career, Ted has earned hundreds and hundreds of advertising awards for his music and sound design, always pushing creative boundaries with fresh ideas and meticulous attention to detail. Beyond advertising, Ted has made his mark in sound design and music for feature films and feature documentaries, and he is also the Executive Producer and Audio Director of the well-known advertising podcast IOFA with Aaron Starkman. He has mentored countless emerging talents over the years, a role he takes great pride in.

In January of 2025, Ted decided to retire from the advertising industry after an illustrious 50-year career. He now enjoys spending time at his cottage in northern Ontario with family and friends, playing the drums, and catching Raptors games.
