Audio Tech for a range of festival and corporate events over my time at NW Group. Took a sabbatical from this position while full time at the Arthouse and re engaged this year.

Other then the previous key highlights there has been a vast array of one off events and show that are note worthy.

Over the past two year I have been working as a preferred contractor for Civic Theatre Newcastle to bring expertise to their excellent audio team when needed for such events as venue transfers of major musical works such a Come From Away and Rocky Horror.

During both the Sydney area (Central Coast) lock downs in 2020 and 2021 my work pivoted from event operations to maintenance, re-surfacing performance stage decks, building rigging equipment carts and working on venue projects that would usually have seen a close a performance space work days or weeks, shifting from my audio skillset to my earlier engineering and fabrication background.

Through 2020 to 2022 I worked on creating a teaching resource for introduction to system optimisation deployment with a concentration on real would measurement for Tafe and university level students that are going into the arts, live sound and theatre sectors as career path or further studies.

Mixing a variety of musical and theatrical productions in the Newcastle area from Civic Theatre to community theatre groups.
