A Bachelors in Media Production - Griffith Uni (QLD) underpins my professional career path since it's completion back in the good ol' analogue days. Before branching out independently more recently I’ve held National and International Sales Manager roles for Intelliware/Sibelius AU and Hosa Technology/Røde Microphones respectively. I've travelled the globe extensively and have gained much through those experiences. 

It’s been a privilege to work beside some of the very best in the pro audio manufacturing and music technology development sector in the US, UK, EU, China and Australia. I thrive on melding the complex and creative juncture between equipment, operation and dreams - supporting artists, performers, teachers, promoters, management, venues, technicians and producers of live musical events. 

I aim to work inclusively and respectfully. As I specialise providing services to public and private school sectors I hold a current DHS clearance and a variety of vehicle (MR) and specialised equipment (Forklift, Dangerous Work, Awesome Sound, TeleHandler) licenses. I have current Public Liability Insurance, recent Advanced First-Aid and Fire Emergency training.
