Personal Info: I had my first real sound company, on paper and everything, when I was still in high school. I found that I had a natural talent for this sound stuff and I really enjoyed doing it. Twenty-two years later and I am still plugging away at it. I still love production but the company is now also doing installations. We are small but we have conquered our market because we just do it better!
Hobbies: Rock climbing, mountain bike riding, production– yeah, I still love it!

Quote: "It's all good. No worries"
Personal Info: I still have a 9-5 day job, trying to run a weekend warrior sound company. Needless to say all of my holidays are used up doing gigs! I have a lot of fun but I'm often very tired. I love the gear, the buttons, the multipins, the rack displays, soldering– I love it all. I even love the smell of fresh SJOW cable, as you open the wrapper! I fancy myself an OK sound guy who can drive a five-ton truck, and patch the P.A. correctly.
Hobbies: Playing drums in my band, motorcycling, skiing,
