About

I am a seasoned audio engineer and sound technician with over a decade of experience in both live events and studio production. Certified in Pro Tools and skilled across house systems and mobile setups, I bring a versatile approach to every booking. I am just as comfortable managing a corporate press conference as I am mixing for a live concert.

My career includes micing up Bill Gates, handling AV for high-profile clients like Google, Facebook, and Nvidia, and supporting major artists such as Scarface, Nipsey Hussle, Slim Thug, and Paul Wall. Whether it is a ribbon cutting, launch event, or live performance, I ensure clear, reliable sound with professional execution from start to finish.

Book today for reliable, professional sound support you can count on.
