I've lived at the crossroads of physics, auditory physiology research, music, and sound engineering for decades. I built and sold a successful IT managed services firm, and now enjoy focusing on designing / tuning performance systems and spaces, mixing safe-level live performances, solving knotty problems, educating the next generation of audio engineers, & teaching hearing safety.

Audio is a field which demands lifelong learning, and fortunately I enjoy this! I love meeting AES peers who are doing interesting things, trying to keep up with the bleeding edge of audio technology, and contributing to the audio community.
