About
I'm a military veteran originally from Tampa, FL. I started as a musician (Alto Clarinet, Bari Sax,Guitar) and branched into the other side of music production becoming more interested in refining sound and producing amazing live shows, and studio albums.
After the studio side was under my belt, I moved on to working for venues like The Camel, Capital Music Hall, Broadberry, Banditos, Cary St. Cafe, The Red Room, The Hoff, and many other regional venues as a temp tech or fill-in. My next step was to move on to larger productions, so from there I was hired as a sound engineer for traveling entertainment groups under Sam Hill Entertainment (Attraction Band), and East Coast Entertainment (3 Sheets to the Wind, Party of 4, Dance Candy, etc.)
After co-producing 200+ shows I decided it was time to move into management at an event company (Mosaic Event Production) where I managed a crew of 10, 2 warehouses of inventory, scheduling, and payroll. After a 2 year employment there, I then was hired by Advanced Visual Productions to be a Production Manager in 2020. Through the pandemic, we struggled to maintain a strong schedule of work, until we re-vamped our production techniques to cater to virtual broadcasting, which became a large success and learning experience.
Now, I have stepped down from full time employment to get back to my roots as a freelancer tech with WAY more experience under my belt, and a drive to make the steps towards greater independent work.
Additional booking notes
I can supply a JBL PA with microphones, stands ect. for a 50-500 person event
Video display walls available
HD PTZ camera system with controller
4K Action camera
If you are renting equipment for the event, or have your own, there's a 90% chance I can competently use it. (i.e. wireless systems, digital sound boards, analog sound boards, video wall, virtual broadcasting, PTZ Camera systems etc.)
I also have some basic lighting (wireless battery powered lighting for venues and stage wash).
