My background spans studio recording and music production, live sound engineering, and on-site A/V systems installation. I've engineered and produced commercially released music across multiple genres, supported touring acts as part of live audio crews, and worked on active job sites installing and configuring professional A/V infrastructure; including category cabling, video devices, and Crestron control systems. I'm equally comfortable behind a console, in a studio, or on a ladder running cable. Past roles have also allowed me to mentor future audio engineers, manage equipment systems, and collaborate closely with artists, technicians, and production teams under tight timelines. I'm also a musician, playing guitar and singing in a local band. I understand how important a great mix should sound and I carry that same mindset in a live environment as well. Besides audio work I'm a freelance photographer and graphic designer. I work closely with clients to capture their vision, and have produced several headshots and pieces of artwork that exceeds their expectations. I look forward to meeting new people and making new connections.
