About Me
I have always believed the audio engineer, for any event- be it a concert, play, meeting or broadcast- is an extension of the talent or performance. I treat every situation as if it is the most important show of my career. Translating the various input signals to the masses, in the exact right volumes and tones, maintaining their dynamics, while controlling the signal is a challenge I undertake and results I am proud of.
With this work ethic, I have been humbled to be sought after for not only tours,
but festivals and network television broadcasts.
For those not familiar with the “music industry” as it relates to my work. The title of FOH(Front of House) Engineer, refers to my work, as the Sound Engineer responsible for the audio mix the audiences would hear. A highly respected position that is an extension of the band, and relies on great understanding and relationship with the artist and their desired results. Tour Manager, has the responsibility of handling all the needs of the event, including logistics, staffing, financial planning and settlement, and interacting directly with the artists and their entourage. My focus, dedication, and constant education to my career has provided great results, including recognition and awards, highly regarded in my field. These include Grammy winning and Emmy winning projects, as well as being sought after for reviews and speaking engagements.
Part of my continued education, include:
• OSHA 10 training and certification
• Covid 19 Compliance Officer training and certification
• Forklift training and certification
• Class B CDL training and licensed
• Certified Technology Specialist™
• Certification on many industry products such as consoles and software
I have also possessed or currently maintain memberships in various organizations including:
• International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 97, Reading, PA
• International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Local 501, Lititz, PA
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Worker, Local 1212, NY, NY
• Audio Engineering Society
In short, I am a local personality, with a worldwide recognized career and work history.
