Hi, I'm Mario A. Rodriguez, a skilled sound engineer, producer, and designer with a passion for audio that began in my teenage years. I started working with sound while making mods for idTech & Source-based video games, experimenting with early object-based sound technology like EAX. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience producing for various studios and large national multimedia corporations in South Florida. I'm an active member of both the Palm Beach music and furry communities, proudly calling West Palm Beach my adopted home. You might find me DJing or performing experimental electronic music downtown on Clematis Street or in Lake Worth, or even performing as the singing dog for charity events. Professionally, I have produced content for iHeartMedia Miramar, worked as a traffic & weather anchor, social media director, and aerial photographer for Miami's major news outlets. I decided to pursue my Bachelor's Degree in Music, graduating Cum Laude from Florida Atlantic University. Currently, I serve as the Audio Engineer in residence at First Presbyterian Church of Fort Lauderdale.
