For the past few years, I have had the unique opportunity to learn about live sound engineering during my time at RIT. I am always looking to expand my skillset and put on a great time for others around me. I have been making things louder since 2020!
My roles have included (but are not limited to):
FOH Sound Engineer (rock and jazz bands, a cappella, theatre)
Monitor Sound Engineer
Festival Backline Tech
Event Manager/Coordinator/Planner
Lighting Tech
and sometimes most, if not all of the above at once!
Recent experience includes working A1, A2, house manager, recording engineer, and lights operator at the Theater at Innovation Square - as well as working backline for Audio Images for the 2025 Rochester International Jazz Festival.
Experienced with Reaper for multitrack recording and Waves plugins for live sound.

This is the primary digital board I am experienced on. From running Open Mics, Rock Concerts, and A Cappella shows, the Yamaha DM3 is a trustworthy piece of kit. I work with VST Rack for plugin integration and Reaper for multitrack recording.
Certification: Dante Level 1 | 3rd Edition (2026 Jan)
The first digital mixer I used in my sound engineering career, the Soundcraft SI Impact is a respectable piece of kit. I work with Mixing Station for any remote mixing.
The bread and butter of modern digital mixers, the Behringer X32 is something I have used for numerous events, though I do not care for it.
Technically in this pic, it is the Midas M32...
that I am familiar with include:
Yamaha QL5
Yamaha CL5
Behringer X Air XR18
Presonus StudioLive 16 Series III
I also have used analog boards, believe it or not...

Mackie ProFX16 V2
I have enough equipment to run my own small DIY show.
