Retired in 2021 after 45 years in the commercial AV Industry, to pursue education and research in sustainability and electronic waste. After completing a three year term on the Board of SAVe - Sustainability in AV, my goal is to further address the environmental impact of AV e-waste—specifically on our water, soil, and air—by promoting thoughtful, sustainable business practices within the commercial AV community.

I I volunteer for AVIXA Xchange and I am part of the AVIXA sustainability advisory group, this allows me to endorse my interest and commitment to sustainability, circular economies and the environment.

Senior Director of Development for AVIXA in EMEA with over 20 years experience in AV and IT industries. Started off in sound engineering in the late 90s then pursued a career in IT. After working in web development I returned to AV and have not looked back!

I look forward to seeing many of those examples on the Xchange!
