I’m a Sound Engineer focussing mostly on my main passion of live music with all round experience in corporate, theatre, events, festivals and nightclubs.

I excel at working in a team both leading and following directions as well as working by myself to provide the best possible outcome to the best of my personal and professional ability whilst also bringing a healthy injection of humour to the table.

I also own a lot of my own equipment including: Allen & Heath SQ5, Midas M32r, and digital stageboxes, full industry standard microphone package as well as PA systems suitable for a range of events.

I own a Ford Transit Custom van in the UK and have a full, clean driving licence.
