Music has always been very important to me and I grew up listening
to a wide variety of genres from traditional scottish folk songs to
progressive rock...After a brief attempt at piano lessons, I
eventually started playing both classical and electric guitar even
though I knew I was not talented enough to play in a rock band (a
brief childhood daydream).
On the other hand, since I have a technical inclination it was very
easy for me to learn the principles of audio engineering and become the
'sound-guy' for the bands that my wife sings with. This was both a
FUN way to spend time together and contribute to the success of the
performances. Over the years, I have broadened my experience with
various types of audio equipment (both analog and digital) and
worked for other bands as well as a professional audio company
producing local music festivals.
