Quote: “If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not your sport.”
Personal Info: 3rd Ear was started in the mid 1980s out of sheer frustration. As a guitarist and vocalist at that time, I was running into a lot of bad sound, either from operator carelessness, inexperience, or good folks running mismatched components, so I started to put systems together to support the bands I was playing in. Before long I was doing jobs for everyone else!.
Hobbies: Astronomy, Model Rocketry, Bicycling
Equipment: Yamaha M7CL, LS9, M2500, Carvin consoles — Crest CC series and Carvin DCM series amps (including their new “L” series); TCS loudspeakers —TC Electronic M-One, D-Two, and Lexicon MPX series multi-effects —Behringer and dbx EQs —Drawmer ds404, Presonus acp88 and Behringer gates/comps.
