As an award-winning system designer and influential voice in live event production, I bring a rare “triple threat” expertise across high-impact audio, broadcast video, and stage lighting - rooted in decades of experience as an end user, designer, engineer, and trainer. What sets me apart is not just technical fluency, but a deep understanding of how production shapes moments that move people—whether in the mission of the local Church or the energy of world-class live performance.
