Available to hire
I’m a seasoned audio engineer and live-events producer with 15+ years of experience in cruise lines, theatres, and corporate venues. I design and tune complex audio systems, optimize signal flow across analog and digital domains, coordinate wireless systems, and lead SMAART-based acoustical improvements to deliver clear, impactful sound.
I also manage show control, rigging automation, multimedia workflows, and on-site production teams of up to 35 people, ensuring on-time load-ins/outs and a great artist experience. I thrive in fast-paced environments and pride myself on collaboration, problem solving, and a safety-minded approach.
