About Me

Always thinking one step ahead like a carpenter that builds stairs.If you want to add me as your friend and I don't know who your are make a point of letting me know something about you and start a dialogue. I check other peoples profiles when they ask but there quite a few come in and if I don't know you or you have a million friends already I may pass. I do not want to be another number in a profile. Although I do let in the odd band that kicks ass.NOW ABOUT ME!Well I am usally touring doing sound, or I am recording it, or off mixing it, or producing it etc. I really want to use this site for networking with other musicans and industry people. If you need some kick ass sound to be done contact me, I am always for hire.I am the Monitor engineer for Adam Gregory, and spend most of my time doing something with Audio.Adam is one of my main gigs and I really enjoy it a lot. It truly is a great band and crew to work with and the people are increadable. I cannot say enough good things about them all.I am also doing sound at the Edmonton Winspear Centre For Music.I also do sound for a corperate party band call "Out Of The Blue" Which is another great band to work with and once again it is full of truly amazing people.For me I am always trying to excel at what I do and I like working with skilled people. I am well versed in all areas of doing concert sound. Foh, monitor, recording, broadcast. You name it I can do it.LETS HAVE SOME FUN, PUT ON A GOOD SHOW, AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH WHAT WE DO!If you are interested in having me work with you on a project or come out to mix you drop me a line.I just want to kick ass at what I do and have fun doing that.
