About me
Tour Manager, Production Manager & Audio Engineer.
I have extensive experience in the corporate conferencing, live music touring, broadcast and streaming.
​
Started out 15+ years ago operating and building audio systems for corporate events before becoming a touring FOH engineer. After my first tour as a FOH engineer I inherited the role of tour manager and its stuck now for over 11 years.
​
2020 resulted in a side step away from my touring career back into the corporate conferencing world which subsequently opened doors in the broadcast world which has been something I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of.
