Design
SFX CreationPrimarily found in the context of theatrical performance, the sound design process consists of determining what sounds are needed for a given production, followed by either sourcing pre-created material or generating it entirely from scratch. This material can be anything from pre-show music to realistic ambiance to sound effects that contribute to telling the story.

System SetupIn order for sound design to effectively function in the context of a story being told by performers, the sound system must be setup in such a way the the audio is accurately and realistically portrayed to the audience. The requires intentional speaker placement, routing, and tuning to pull off the effects in a way that is believable without becoming distracting.

Production
Recording & ProducingThere came a point where I began writing songs so regularly that I realized I needed to invest the time into learning how to properly record and produce the music I was hearing in my head. Taking this step was a turning point for me since it was the moment I realized my passion for sound and audio work. Learning how to produce music at a professional level quickly became a passion of mine.

Mixing & MasteringOnce the music I heard in my head was recorded into the computer, it still needed to be edited and mixed so that each part was appropriately balanced against the others. Moreover, the process of mastering was also necessary to prepare the mix for commercial broadcast levels. After learning the intricacies of the full process, I also learned how to publish and globally distribute the music that was created.

Engineering
Live EventsI first dipped my toes in the waters of live sound as a church volunteer, then as a theatrical mixer, and eventually graduating into now running sound for a whole variety of live concerts and events.

ConsultationAlthough I love being the engineer behind the mixer, sometimes what is needed is not for me to run the show, but to help setup and instruct others on how to do so effectively. I have often served as a consultant for churches, schools, and theater companies in need of guidance.
