" Having started in the event industry in 1997 I was immediately drawn to audio and making things loud. Surrounded by talented & generous technicians, willing to teach me the ropes, it wasn't long til the Freelance world beckoned.
From there it was trial by fire, and what better way to learn than to gain "hands on" experience. While based out of London I was lucky enough to work all over Europe on a wide variety of events; conferences, special events, film premieres, royal events, awards shows, galas and TV shows to name a few.
Then in 2004 Calgary called my name - this was the town to raise a family, and I moved to be with my Canadian wild rose. Within a year I was lucky enough to start working with the best audio company in the country: FM Systems (I am bias!). Over the next 15 years I was fortunate enough to work on a long list of high end events that continued to stretch my abilities and grow my knowledge of the live events industry. These would include everything from live, nationally televised award shows, to stadium charity concerts, to award winning special events. All had their own challenges and all had the running theme of excellence & perfection. Again, I was very fortunate to be surrounded by some incredible event professionals that I could learn from & hone my skills. During these years I was able to grow as a technician, audio lead and production manager.
And this is where I find myself today - years of experience and a passion to be a part of a team that creates excellence and leaves an audience blown away. Ultimately that is what is at the core - striving for excellence & awesome guest experience"
