Having toured without the help of a consistent live sound support company at all venues has given my F.O.H. live dates a never ending surprise of all kinds. A plethora of rigs with gear from all over the world, from ABBA to ZAPPA there is nothing I am not familiar with through rain, sleet and snow. My personal preference are to have a dedicated tour support and dedicated sound crew but in reality I am willing to deal and work under any extreme circumstances what so ever. “Break it” and I will make it work no mater what. Out of the rig thinking is my specialty.-------Affiliations 1990 to current 48k Audio Inc. owner/operator of studio, and for live sound engineering and equipment rentals.
