What I'm looking for

I’m seeking hands-on live-sound or AV roles where I can run FOH/monitors, lead system setups, troubleshoot under pressure, and support smooth performer and client-facing productions in fast-paced venues or event environments.

I am an audio engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience across live sound, venue AV, and studio recording, trusted to run FOH, monitors, stage patch, and full system setup/strike without supervision. I bring a strong background in Allen & Heath, Midas, Behringer X32 ecosystems and Dante networking, with a reputation for clean stage workflow, reliable gain structure, and fast troubleshooting under show pressure.

I have led audio setups for nightly venue performances, conferences, and convention-center productions, coordinating load-ins, patching, and system verification under tight timelines. I prioritize preventative maintenance and clear communication with performers and clients to keep shows running smoothly and to resolve system faults in real time.
