My professional journey began with a deep love for music, starting with creating mixtapes in high school and eventually leading to opportunities as a DJ and Producer. This passion for performance and sound naturally evolved into the world of acoustics, where I founded a company focused on acoustic integration.
That unique background gave me a foundational understanding of the technical and creative aspects of sound, which I've leveraged throughout my career in the commercial audiovisual industry. For over two decades, I've excelled in both sales and project management, specializing in design-build turnkey services. I'm skilled at bringing the right resources together to ensure project success.
My philosophy is simple: I work for my clients, and my company/resources work for us—a partnership built on shared success. I look forward to connecting with fellow professionals who are passionate about the future of AV and IT.
