Dedicated professional with a jack-of-all-trades mindset and a master-of-some approach. I've spent 25+ years as a musician—writing, arranging, performing, and accompanying—and more than 20 years as a freelance audio engineer and live sound engineer. I pride myself on clear communication, strong client relations, and a deep understanding of the recording and mixing process, mic placement, signal chains, and the aural perception of the mix. Currently I own Let Them Hear, LLC, providing mixing and mastering for local artists, AV integration for churches and venues, and live event audio with stage management. I design professional wireless systems, RF spectrum management, and deliver high-quality audio for in-person and online audiences, including podcasts and remote performances using Dante networking; I'm Dante Level 2 certified and actively studying AI for audio applications.
