I began professionally performing music and operating audio systems in 1965. In 1970 I built my own PA for use in concert venues and clubs, and in 1987 I created a sync-to-picture multi-channel recording and production system that now includes 64 channels of microphone and line level inputs, Avid Pro Tools, Presonus Studio One, CakeWalk/BandLab Sonar, on PC and Mac. Over the decades I have operated audio for live, recorded, and complex productions for hundreds of radio and TV commercials, voice over projects, corporate events, albums, presentations, meetings, live and recorded streaming, and broadcasting. I have worked as a technician, manager, coordinator and performer at hundreds of events. In the last year and a half I have been responsible for live streaming, managing two remote cameras, four simultaneous audio mixes, a VMix-based switching system, and the placement and processing of microphones and cameras for voice, instruments, playback and capture. I have mixed audio for numerous live events, including projects broadcast to various outlets and live TV.
