Experienced audiovisual and theatre consultant, specializing in multidisciplinary design and implementation of commercial, retails, hospitality, cultural, educational, transportation and government projects which require extensive audiovisual, multimedia, theatre planning and/or stage engineering knowledge and skills. Project involvements cover commercial buildings, shopping malls, hotels, museums, performing venues, universities, transport hubs and government houses, including new build and renovation jobs in both domestic and overseas.

AV Consultant/Designer with extensive experience in performance AV systems for performing arts facilities, themed entertainment venues, stadiums, Mega & Giga churches, and indoor-outdoor regional or national concert venues. My designs and guidance provided to clients come from years of hands-on experience as a touring engineer and working for an AV integration firm, gaining the installer's perspective. Music and technology are a huge passion of mine, and working with artists to ensure they connect with the audience and the audience has an emotional response to the artist. I utilize my years of relationship building with the artist to strive as an advocate for the production crew (the forgotten heroes who make events and facilities run so smoothly) with the design team and the client's upper management. This is why I still freelance as an Audio Engineer, helping create those connections while continuing my hands-on experience with the latest technology, well ahead of mainstream implementation within venues.  A patron's emotional memory or response from an event comes from a well-designed, extremely collaborative team and highly coordinated building that works as one rather than multiple items within  a facility that works by themselves. 

Experienced Engineering Director with nearly 10 years in the audiovisual industry, specializing in AV system design, solution architecture, and project leadership. Proven track record leading pre-sales, engineering, and deployment teams to deliver innovative, client-focused solutions. Certified AVIXA CTS-D, with deep expertise in Audio, Video and Automation systems.

With a background in content strategy, brand management, and community building for global franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek, I’ve spent my career connecting people to the stories they love. At AVIXA, I’m doing the same—only now, the story is AV itself: how it connects, empowers, and transforms us. I’m especially drawn to the intersection of AV and pop culture, immersive tech, and storytelling. I’m here to help others unlock the potential of Xchange—whether it’s building their brand, expanding their reach, or just finding their people.
