“I build systems where art and technology work together”
I started in the deep end of live sound, chasing perfect harmony, phase, and the science of acoustics. Decades later, I've led crews, built production infrastructures, and rescued venues from chaos. Whether it's an international tour, a citywide cultural system, or a failing arts organization, I find the signal in the noise and make it sing.
