TRAINING MANAGER

I like to live on the edge of technology. Whether it’s a new open source build, beta testing a state of the art MIDI controller sequencer instrument, or 3D designing and printing a new bracket or part to make my life, and other’s lives easier, I think that that future is easily in our hands. This is more true now than ever before.

From my early years taking apart VCR machines in my father’s workshop, to building rockets and gravity propelled go karts in my teens, learning how things worked was the thing that pushed me forward. I needed to know about how that new device “magically” did what it was supposed to do. This lead to many new gifts in my early years being instantly dismantled with absolutely no idea of how to re-assemble them, but with each new idea I had unraveled and skills I obtained, I found that sound caught my attention more than any other medium.

My career has taken me from large live-event mixing, to corporate A/V integration, to training content creation. The force that kept pulling me forward has always been learning a new concept or idea and being able to break it down and help the rest of the team grow and become more confident and capable.

That’s why I am so excited to forward that idea of learning, help YOU figure out how our products here at Bose Professional magically work, and help facilitate that next step forward in your professional endeavors.

In my spare time, you can find me enjoying the outdoors on an electric skateboard, jumping down that next synthesizer fueled rabbit hole, chasing the sound I have in my head out of my studio monitors, or teaching a local racing drone building class. Feel free to reach out and I hope you enjoy our training courses!

TECHNICAL EDUCATION CONTENT DEVELOPER

I consider myself a lifelong student and I am driven by a desire and passion to learn. That is why I am thankful to have the opportunity to creatively turn what I learn into exciting training assets for others. Regardless of the method, I absolutely love helping and teaching others.

Being a child of a former band conductor meant that it wasn’t if I was going to learn a musical instrument, but when. I didn’t know it at the time, but this would ultimately lead to my love of sound and greatly influence my career choices. My passion for music grew as I learned to play the saxophone at a young age. Soon, I was also playing piano and guitar, which led me to form my own bands all while continuing to play sax in school. My obsession with music eventually became an obsession with sound after having the opportunity to play on my first demo and being disappointed in what the recording engineer delivered.

I’ve gone from managing record shops, to barely breaking even as a touring musician, to mixing live sound, to answering late-night calls troubleshooting faulty AV-equipment, and for the last eight years, teaching and creating content in the pro-AV industry. All these things have been bound by a love of sound.

I am thankful for the opportunity to work alongside so many talented minds at Bose Professional, and excited to push forward multiple methods of technical training. As technology progresses and changes how we learn, I am excited to continue to educate you in how our products at Bose Professional work.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring sound design, writing songs, discovering a new world in a book or videogame, and perfecting a dish in the kitchen. I trust our training courses will see you succeed in your next gig, and please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here for you.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION CONTENT DEVELOPER

I have a deep love of both art and technology, and I am particularly intrigued in where those two intersect. Have an extensive background in live music as well as filmmaking. Each of these crafts affords me the opportunity to enjoy my passions. I am driven by my craving for knowledge and growth, both personally as well as within the industry.

After years of playing in bands as a touring musician and cutting my teeth as a self-made marketer, I set my sights on becoming a full-time, professional content creator and began working at an agency in Dallas, Texas. There I was the Director of Production and was empowered to help B2B brands strategize, create, and deliver video content through their own channels. During my time there I developed my skills to include many aspects of content creation, Audio/Video systems, and live production management.

It was a very long road from being a touring-teen trying to make his way through surviving life as an independent artist, to becoming a professional video producer that many B2B brands and executive teams relied on for their marketing content. My drive and passion for the technology and industry are what has gotten me to where I am today, and I hope to pass on my knowledge and passion through the wonderful team here at Bose Professional to each of you.

When I am not working, you may find me writing music or going to shows with some friends, geeking-out over the latest TV shows or videogames, building PC’s and home-technology solutions, or enjoying a nice Texas day outdoors with my dog. I am ecstatic to have the opportunity to be on the Bose Professional team and I would love to answer any questions you may have, so please be sure to reach out!
