About Me

After school I started working part-time as a sales person at Guitar International in Hamburg, through that I developed a great understanding of music and communicating with people.Migrating to Australia in 1982 with the family and settling in Holland Park, Brisbane, I started out working for Mick Privitera at The Musicians Pro Shop, who owned Australian Concert Productions, and now Impact Production Services I was asked later during my first few months at Musicians Pro Shop to start mixing live bands and within a short time I decided to take it up as my full time profession...
