About me

Hello

Throughout my career, I have mixed front-of-house and monitor audio, produced and edited video content, managed production equipment and budgets, and overseen technical projects from concept to completion for over 25 years. I studied Audio Engineering in college and have built a diverse production background spanning live touring, audio engineering, video production, post-production, lighting, studio recording and film. For the past seven years, I have dedicated my skills to church ministry, applying my professional production experience to support worship services, develop volunteer teams, and help churches communicate their message with excellence.

I have a great love for coffee and Lego!
