I have 20+ years of international experience in Sales, Trade Marketing & Marketing in different industries (Technology, Consumer Goods and Textiles).

My mission: To learn something new every single day! 🌟 I'm one of the few who can say they've crafted musical instruments played by Imagine Dragons and Metallica on world tours. I was the front-of-house engineer for Billy Bob Thornton's band, the Box Masters when they hit Colorado. I've even shared the stage with the incredible David Byrne & St. Vincent, playing percussion on the song "Road to Nowhere" during their tour stop in Denver, and it was a blast! I wrote an album that several of my favorite musicians contributed to Tony Levin, Rhys Fulber, and Alex Acuna! Tony plays bass with none other than Peter Gabriel! It was a dream come true and an incredible experience. I'm always thrilled to dive headfirst into the tech world, whether it's programming Crestron gadgets or setting up and fine-tuning line array systems for live events. I once had Jay Leno & Queen Latifah as keynote speakers, ensuring their words echoed flawlessly in every corner of the room. I'm currently a Senior AV Engineer for Colorado Judicial creating schematics for courtroom upgrades in CAD.  I commission newly installed gear and train judges and judicial staff to keep the justice system running smoothly. If you're into cool projects, continuous learning, and making a real impact, let's chat! I'm always up for a new challenge and super interested in collaborating with awesome people.
