What were you doing before you came to Spirit Studios?
Before I came to Spirit Studios I was teaching live sound at other Institutions as well as taking on a role as a technical manager at the O2 Ritz. I’ve also done a lot of touring with artists.
How did you get into Audio Engineering?
I learnt about it through shadowing in lots of small venues and I worked for a PA company while I was studying at university. I went on tour around the country during exam revision week! From there I worked in venues around Manchester and eventually ended up touring the world with different artists.
What’s your proudest career achievement?
I think I’d have to say that getting to travel around the world with lots of different artists and lots of shows is a pretty big achievement.
What do you get up to outside of teaching?
I’m still the technical manager at the O2 Ritz. I also work with a range of artists during festival season every year.
