SFX Technician

About

I'm a graduate of Bolton University, more specifically backstage academy, with a degree in live event production. My main focus is on SFX but i have a background in lighting focusing on AVO Lites but i'm always up for trying other systems and learning more. I have a good understanding and use of front of house, focusing on Yamaha and Midus desks. I have done two summer tours as an ASM covering every role that is required of me from unloading the vans, to liaising with the venue management teams and setting up hazardous material for the show.
