ABOUT

A front-of-house engineer, first and always.

I've been mixing live shows since long before my first corporate general session. Theme park stages, parades and special events taught me to mix under pressure, with no second takes and a live audience every time.

Years of systems design and integration added the other half: knowing how a system is built, installed and commissioned, and exactly how it will behave once the doors open. Albano Media Group brings both to every production, so you get an engineer who can mix the show and stand behind the system it runs on.
