As a Utility Sound Technician I’m in charge of placing and hiding wireless transmitters on talent, second booming scenes, coordinating expendables and rentals among many other responsibilities. It is truly a jack of all trades position.

The main film that inspired me to get involved in the industry is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I believe my first paid gig was doing sound for Geek And Sundry, followed by Disneyland Broadcast after networking while working at the park.

If someone is referring you out it is because they see something in you as a person worth investing in.
