Live Event AV Producer & Technical Director
Live events don’t get a second take.
I make sure the first one counts. Cameras, sound, LED walls, lighting and live streams — planned with you, set up right, and run by one person who’s been doing it for 19 years.
Pick a source, then Cut or Auto.
Every event gets one chance. I’ve spent 19 years making sure it lands — behind the cameras, at the sound desk, on the lighting console and in the network that ties it all together.
You work with one person from the first call to the final file. I plan the technical side with you, bring the right gear and crew, run the show, and hand over the finished recording.
Concerts and conferences, product launches and galas, worship services and private events — in Calgary and wherever the show takes me.
Book one channel or the whole desk. I match the setup to your room, your audience and your budget — and I’m there to run it.
Live-switched, multi-camera coverage of your event, delivered as a polished, edited program.
Broadcast-quality streams to YouTube, Facebook or a private link — with remote presenters joining over Zoom or Teams.
Clear, dependable audio for speeches, panels and full concerts, recorded and ready for broadcast.
Big, bright screens that look great on camera — rented for one night or designed and installed for good.
Lighting that makes the stage look as good on camera as it does in the room.
Permanent video, audio and lighting systems for churches, venues and offices — built so your team can run them.
An experienced crew for show day, and hands-on training so your own people can run it next time.
Professional gear sourced straight from the manufacturer and inspected on site — often at half the local price.
Also available: video editing and post-production, custom streaming and editing workstations, and websites.
A few highlights from the program.
Youth Singers of Calgary · since 2007
Twice a year the choir fills the 2,500-seat Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. I direct a live-switched, multi-camera recording with a crew and deliver the finished concert.
Venue upgrade
A church auditorium needed a new stage and a production system to match. I designed the LED wall, sourced it direct from the factory, installed, and rebuilt the video, audio and lighting network behind it — then trained the team to run it.

Every event is a signal chain. I design the whole path — capture, network, processing and output — so nothing in it is a mystery when it matters. Hover a block to trace its signal.
