I have successfully engineered thousands of events and shows over the last 20 years. Some of my personal favorites were:
Fun Home- The Penobscot Theatre Directed by Tricia A. Hobbs
While I loved mixing this incredible musical every night, the real challenge kicked in one night when the mixer froze. I quickly grabbed my iPad and mixed the whole show remotely and never missed a line. The audience never knew that anything had gone wrong. It was an incredibly stressful situation that has turned into a great story.
Maytag Virgin- Gulfshore Playhouse, Directed by Jeffery Binder
This show was very exciting as it was a more intimate venue. I could really play with the sound and manipulate it in many different ways to fill the theatre with the sounds of a rural countryside and still balance the non-amplified actors dialogue.
Touring Sound Engineer- Starquest Performing Arts Competition
For six months, I toured the country working sound for these competitions. I got to control the audio in some amazing theatres and venues all over the country. Every event was different and exciting and kept me on my toes coming up with transition music in between acts that fit the theme of the performance we had just seen. I have been lucky enough to work in 20 different states since beginning my career.
Outdoor Events
I have done many events outside, both in very public spaces and intimate backyards. These events always bring new and exciting challenges to an audio engineer, as many of the surrounding noises and interferences are out of their control. I observe the full space and make sure that everyone gets an amazing show every time.
