Available to hire
I am a calm, motivated audio engineer with 24 years of big top mixing experience. I currently lead Cirque du Soleil’s sound teams on Alegria (Canada, USA) and have held Head of Sound roles on Totem and Volta across Europe, as well as Amaluna, OVO and Kooza in North America. I love everything audio and am committed to delivering immersive, artistically faithful sound.
I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams, mentoring colleagues, and ensuring the highest quality sound for live performances, rehearsals, and TV/PR events. I handle end-to-end audio setup, mixing, recording, tear-downs, and tour rotations with a focus on great results and professional conduct.
