Apr 2018 - Present
Having spent over 10 years in the corporate AV industry, I have managed to gain, by experience, a vast amount of knowledge through all areas. A strong desire to learn why something doesn't work first time has meant that I haven't shied away from a challenge, and actively seek to push myself and gain more experience. This has meant that not only do I have a strong troubleshooting mindset, I am comfortable enough with the technology to provide a good experience to the end client and the team I work with. A calm and humorous approach has helped me to ensure every job is better than the last. - Knowledge of video distribution systems, LED walls, general video, audio and lighting, displays and more -KNX and RTi certfication - Current ECS card, Current digital IPAF Cat 3a/3b Show less
