As the Technical Integration supervisor at the Legislative Assembly office, I oversee a team of technicians who install and maintain all AV and television broadcasting equipment related to activities in meeting spaces, committee rooms and the Legislative Chamber. In addition to hardware support we do all of our own in house programming including Crestron, QSys and Peavey.
I have previous experience as an audio engineer in theatre, television broadcast and live events as well as general AV setup and installs for audio, video and lighting systems.
I've seen AV change and grow, from the days of ticker tape running through slide projector controllers, through the advent of multi projector shows (who remembers Spindler and Sauppe?!) to a certain Bill Gates.. and through to today.. What a journey!! And I'm still as passionate about the industry as the 20 year old that started all those years ago.. Happy to talk to anyone about the 'good ol' days' as well as the fabulous and amazing NOW!!!
