Summary

With over 13 years of experience in various production roles including FOH & Monitor Engineer, Broadcast Engineer, Live Video Director, Camera Operator, and Post Production Audio Engineer, I've gained extensive expertise in my chosen field. Throughout my career, I have overseen production teams in tour venues for headlining artists, collaborated with singer-songwriters and musicians, and mixed and engineered music videos, podcasts, and live event content. Drawing on this wealth of knowledge and experience, I recently launched a full-service audio production company.
