Since late 2010 through early 2013, while attending college full-time, I had been primarily free-lancing as an independent audio engineer, running live sound around the Toledo Ohio area, and also recording and mixing bands both locally and remote. I’ve completed other audio-based projects like voice-over recordings, and audio restoration for damaged data. I can independently operate recording sessions from beginning to end, handling all microphone placements, tracking, mixing procedures and some mastering. My preferred DAW is Pro Tools and I currently own and operate a Focusrite Liquid Safire 56 interface and Pro Tools 10. I am also experienced and competent using Logic, Ableton, Reason, Studio One, and the Native Instruments Komplete bundle. I am capable of basic video editing and I have created some small-scale promotional videos; one was for the local Toledo Guitar Center, another for a construction company. From January – April 2013 I interned at Great Lakes Sound & Lighting, learning the various ins and outs of a large-scale sound and lighting operation and furthering my understanding of the business aspects of the company. I'm on call as substitute with the local Toledo stagehand union on an as needed basis, and I still work as a substitute sound man for various clubs around the Toledo area.I have training in Leadership, Safety and CPR/First Aid. I am also Apple Computer Gold Certified, and competent using both Windows and Mac operating systems, Microsoft Office Suite, Apple Pages, Final Cut X, AutoCAD, Adobe Lightroom, Illustrator, and Photoshop.Pro Tools 10 EngineerSoftware: Avid Pro Tools 10, Native Instruments Komplete 7, Reason 5, Nomad Factory Suite, Waves, McDSP, IK Multimedia, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere.Hardware: MacBook Pro i7 Quad-Core, Digi002, MBox2 Mini, Akai MPK25, Shure SM57, Shure Beta 58A, Sennheiser e935, AKG Condensors.

I sell new computers, repair old ones, and build new computers based on customer specifications. A bulk of my technical work is spent removing viruses from existing machines and determining the best course of action for the customer. Extensive computer repairs can add up quickly and it's my job to determine if a new purchase is better suited for the customer. Within 6 weeks time I jumped to number one in sales for the main Toledo location. I enjoy working with the wide variety of customers that come into Computer Discount, troubleshooting their problems, and determining their best course of action. As a technician, I have removed thousands of viruses, malware, adware, and other undesirables from customer computers. I have also done several new builds, and refurbished builds including new Windows installations. I thoroughly and honestly really do enjoy this type of results driven work and even though I will be beginning a new job with the City of Toledo in late October 2013, I've decided to stay on board working Saturdays for the company.

This was a split role where I had been leading the field and drafting operations with a growing office of a well established firm. We operated a Trimble S6 total station, and a Topcon GR-3 Glonass GPS unit. I was responsible for all of the Oregon fieldwork and I had been doing a significant amount of the accompanying drafting, and modeling work for most projects. I was using Land Desktop Companion and Civil 3D. I was also the safety officer, and the equipment manager.

Interpreted plans and performed calculations per client requests. Briefed crews for field duties and managed calls, requests and the status of the bid.

In addition to construction staking, I also performed ALTA/ACSM, and Topographic and Boundary surveys.

Calculated plan information to be staked in the field and as an instrument operator I ran a total station using TDS software for construction stake out, and topographic surveys.

Collected utility location data using GPS equipment and entered it into an Arc View GIS database. Learned and performed a variety of other survey tasks.
