I am an audio engineer with 39 years in live event and recording industries. I run a small independent recording studio in New Jersey. During the pandemic, a client that I design sound for their theatre shows, asked me to do radio theatre work while the theatre was closed. I recorded, edited, mixed, created sound effects for and even composed music for radio shows that were uploaded to the college's YouTube and Spotify accounts. I did about 80 shows. I also have recorded and engineered three live albums for the progressive rock bands Yes and Asia. My studio is equipped with a Pro Tools rig and full music production facilities.
