I have been a live sound engineer for most of my life. I started earning a living mixing shows shortly after I moved to San Francisco from New York in 1990. My first shows included warehouse raves, street fairs, and small clubs. As soon as the opportunity presented itself to tour, I took it and haven’t looked back.
Since that time, I’ve mixed all sorts of bands in all kinds of venues all over the world. I’ve seen some shit and learned to adapt to any situation. The one thing it all has in common is how much I love touring and enjoy live performances, especially ones I can contribute to by helping translate what happens on stage into meaningful audience experiences.
