We do many one off shows with my current artist Pitbull, and at times I deal with 2 to 3 different sound companies a week.

Career highlights

I have been in the live sound industry since 2001, 16 years. I've worked as a System engineer as well as a FOH and Monitor Engineer for several companies including Logic Systems, Beachsound, and Solotech.

I went freelance in 2013 and have toured with Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds, Guster, & Justin Timberlake as a Monitor System Engineer. I have been the Monitor Engineer for Pitbull since January 2015 and am also currently doing Monitors for Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry part time. I was also Monitor Engineer for the main stage at Ultra Music Festival in Miami for 7 years.

Favorite DPA Microphones

  • We have a fairly large percussion setup for Pitbull and i've always fought it a bit since the percussionist likes a very open mix with no gates. When we implemented the 4099 the mix cleaned up noticeably right away. I was also able to flatten out my eq's and just make minimal changes instead of the drastic cuts and boosts i had made previously. The sound and presence I was able to get out of the congas was very natural and cut right through the mix as well as the bongos and djembe.
