About Me

Detroit Area Sound Freak. Gear Slut. Things I dig: music (live and studio), fat tones, vacuum tubes, hi tech anything, Sci-Fi, good food, great drinks, cool people, open minds.


Currently working my ass off doing live sound mixing, audio/video/lighting installs, event production, recording bands and booking live events. I operate a live sound company with the best of Detroit mixing shows (IM if you need a bitchin' live rig for a gig - we have spanky small to thumpin' outdoor rigs).I'm the house soundguy at Fifth Avenue Ballroom in Novi, MI, Luna Royal Oak, MI, and Coyote Joe's in Shelby, MI. Sound and Production is my life... I can't get enough.
