Hi there!

I'm a telecommunications engineer in Melbourne, Australia and the volunteer technical manager for a community theatre company.

My audio interests are primarily live sound design for musicals at Altona City Theatre. From time to time I also design broadcast sound for ATC Productions, and occasionally freelance design/tech for other theatre companies and events.


Over the years I've written various software tools to assist with sound design and theatre management at Altona City Theatre. I've received enquiries from a few designers and technicians interested in using them, so as time permits I'll package them up and release them here.
