About

I have a lot of experience with live sound mixing. Sadly, most of the events during High school did not allow for full sound checks if at all. So, during my years at in Highschool I learned how to quickly adjust EQ and set levels within the first minute of hearing someone speak (some would say I learned How to learn). With these skills I was able to adjust for on the fly mic swaps and changes. By my senior year of high school was mixing and doing Effects on 32-42 inputs on livestreams. For a while I had a job as a board operator at the church of my High School's Drama and Tech Director. Currently I am a volunteer at my local music venue on 21 S Broadway in Aurora, Illinois which happens to be called The Venue. I help out with sound and lights and have become a big part of the technical crew. I am also an Eagle scout with a bronze eagle palm, a computer geek, and I love to 3D model things in inventor to be 3D printed. With this background I decided to major in acoustics.

As a student currently studying for a career in acoustics. I am aware that acoustics can be applied in many different aspects such as amphitheaters, vehicles, and even large buildings. During my sophomore year here at Columbia College Chicago, I designed and built my own mechanical synthesizer using new and old concepts to create an instrument unlike any that I have ever seen before. I was even able to use 3D Printed Parts. Another project I Loved working on was My Sound system design project. For me this involved a lot of computer aided design (CAD) to create a sound system for a high-school auditorium and its lobby. This was something I had previously attempted in high school, just because I wanted to know if the speaker placement of the auditorium was adequate or if it was causing issues. My passion has very much engaged me in classes such as Sound System Design, Science of musical Instruments, Science of Electronics, Signal Flow and Gain Structure, Audio Theory and systems, Psychoacoustics, Fundamentals of Audio Production, even studies in hearing, ect..

  My dream job might be similar to the Engineer at BMW who listens to all the robots at the factory with his small multi-microphone setup to pinpoint which machine needs to be repaired based on the frequencies it generates. I can easily see myself in the future doing acoustical testing on commercial products and machinery or designing acoustical spaces. During my junior year at here at Columbia College Chicago. For the near future, I hope to develop my mechanical synthesizer concept further to make something more useful.  Further in the future I hope to innovate in ways unimaginable.
