About me
I'm currently Freelancing and working for Disney Cruise Lines as Show Control at present. I am open to new opportunities.Before this i had lived in korea for a year and helped design/build a studio & teaching area for a UK based music charity. Also i helped rig and wire the 209radio(now 105FM) FM antennas, studio and editing facilities.
I freelance primarily in sound but can operate and program most video and lighting solutions too. I've worked various types of events from Golf in the(Canary Warf) to the Cambridge may and winter balls.
As well as freelancing i have worked as a casual crew member at the Cambridge Arts Theater for 4 years, working permanently during panto seasons.
I have in depth knowledge of computers from fixing them to writing software which i have found an enormous help with the evolving technologies within events.
