Major: Live Sound

I have a passion for music. I have a dream of being the front of house engineer at a large venue or on a world tour while making music in the studio in the offseason. I\'ve been playing music and singing since I was eight years old, but mixing big sound has become my true love. I have been working in production and live sound for a few years, traveling with a staging company, working at a Broadway theater, working as a stagehand at a large outdoor venue in Southern Oregon, as well as working with a few other production companies doing lighting, stagecraft, audio, running spotlights, you name it!

My first break in mixing live came at church. The church I attend near my home in Southern Oregon needed a sound engineer and I wanted to volunteer in some way during Sunday services. It was literally a match made in heaven! It is a good sized venue, a capacity of 900, and that was where I got the itch to pursue live sound as a career. Opportunity after opportunity started to roll my way after my skills came up to par. Blessings, miracles and divine appointments have become something I look for in my life. When I decided I wanted to go to school for audio engineering to obtain credentials that would make my career choice more feasible, the doors just kept opening in front of me, all I had to do was walk through them. 

I love sharing my passion and love for life with others. If you would like to know more of my story please, or you just think I\'d be fun to chat with, don\'t hesitate to contact me. I love meeting new people!
