About

Hi, I’m David Mitchell—a multi-talented professional with extensive experience in audio visual tech, tour management, stage management, and production operations. Over the years I’ve designed and mixed live sound for corporate events, world music performances, plays, and musicals, while also handling budgeting, logistics, and team leadership to bring shows to life.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, manage budgeting, travel, and logistics, and take pride in delivering high-quality experiences while building strong teams. I’m passionate about creating immersive productions where sound, staging, lighting, and coordination come together to engage audiences and elevate every performance.
