Brief Biographical Sketch:

I got a degree in electrical engineering in 1987 and have been doing live sound mixing as a hobby since then. I was chair of the sound committee of the New England Folk Festival for ten years which involved managing professional sound contractors in two venues and a crew of over 60 volunteers for five other venues. Also, in September, 2009, I was sound designer for the Theater at First production of Never After at the Somerville Theater.
