I am a sound engineer and tech manager with extensive experience in live entertainment, production shows, and shipboard tech operations. Over nearly 16 years in the cruise industry, I’ve been leading technical teams, coordinating complex AV environments, and delivering engaging guest experiences. Currently with Virgin Voyages, I oversee ship-wide entertainment tech across multiple venues, mentor a team of technicians, and help design and execute shows and events at sea. I’ve also contributed as a FOH sound engineer, Qlab programmer, and designer in shipyard launches and world-class productions.
