About

Over 16 years of Audio/Visual Technician and Live Streaming/Producing live and virtual events for corporate events (meetings, conferences, conventions) internationally. Expert knowledge in Audio (A1 & A2 roles), Video (V1 & V2 roles), Camera Operator, PTZ Camera Operator, Broadcast Utility, VR Broadcast Utility, Technical Directing, LED Video Walls, and Projectionist. I own a X32 Behringer Audio Mixer, 10 Shure Lav mic kits, 2 Shure handheld mic kits, 2 Pyle handheld wired mics, 2 Laptop DIs, 4 Channel Zoom Audio recorder, Wireless Slide Clicker, Decimator HDMI/SDI converter, Sony PTZ HD Camera, Camera tripod, Samsung Tablet, 3 Ft Speaker, Speaker Tripod, Mic Stand, 4 Computer Monitors, SDI Cabling, XLR Cabling, and Power cabling all available for rent.

Over the course of the past 15 years I have provided leadership, hard work, confidence, and professional expertise to provide our customers with the best event experience possible. Whether the event is onsite anywhere in the world, held entirely virtually, or a hybrid combination of the both you name it I have done it with a perfect track record of customer satisfaction. To date I have managed and produced events in the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand to name a few. Though mainly working events with medical associations and surgeries, I have also aided groups that specialize in everything from financial planning, to material research to equestrian health. My passion is going above and beyond for our clients and setting them up for success.

Specialties: A unrivaled expertise with streaming and recording technology, years of developed audio and visual experience, motivated work effort, positive and patient attitude, creative style, superb training and on-boarding leadership style, and fantastic customer service skills. I’m cool headed under pressure, able to multi-task effectively and have a plethora of on-site experience. In my opinion, when it comes to production of any kind the most veteran and patient techs who are constantly open to learning are the best trouble shooters and greatest assets to the team.
