I have had the privilege to work with Jake on many occasions and I always look forward to his thorough and well-organized projects. His patience, attention to detail, and outstanding coordination of logistics makes him a top-notch technical director and project manager. His calm demeanor and people skills puts the client at ease even under potentially stressful situations and instills confidence in his co-workers and customers alike. His ability to multi-task while managing several projects at the same time is just one of his many strengths. If Jake is running your show, it is in good hands and it will be a success.

      I was tasked with the set up and calibration of the main audio system for Lyle Lovett concert touring. The day started with choosing the rigging points and designing the system to accurately cover the seating area and maintain the highest quality of sound. I worked to direct stage hands to set up FOH and assist with setting the stage audio. I was tasked with the set up and calibration of the main audio system for Lyle Lovett concert touring.

      I guided musicians and engineers through the buying and integration of the professional audio products. Sweetwater provided me with an intense, thirteen week training course that focused on technology and salemanship. This position was critical in the way I now communicate because I learned to relate very quickly with customers ranging from novice to the most knowledgeable professional.

    • Production Tech/Rental Dept Manager
      • May 2004 - Mar 2006

      My time at Concert Production was spent spec'ing audio, lighting, and staging systems for regional live productions. I worked with the client, prepared gear, and ran a crew to produce the event as presented. Most shows included providing power systems and rigging. Many times I acted as the FOH engineer or monitor engineer. I also worked as the Rental Department Manager where I grew the business for customers to rent everything from wireless mics to fully prep'd audio and lighting systems. In this position I worked under a very talented electronics repair technician and learned to troubleshoot, service, maintain, and repair many types of production equipment.
