Summary

I am a live event audio specialist with over 20 years of hands-on experience planning and executing events and tours. In my career, I have worked as an agency founder, a live event technician, a touring engineer, and a technical project manager, supporting a wide range of events. Working on large-scale events, international tours, and diverse productions has allowed me to build comprehensive skills in event technology, content creation, and technical management.

My solid training as a graduate audio engineer and various professional and safety courses have helped me master complex technical requirements. I bring practical know-how, technical creativity, and a deep understanding of high-quality event technology.
