I guess this is where I talk about myself for a few minutes about what I do what I've done and what I'm going to do, here goes. I am a freelance Production technician based in the Northeast of England (Newcastle) and have worked on may high (and low) profile events in the region since 2000. My working life initaly started after I left college and went to work in an engineering factory as a CNC lathe opperator, after 2 years in the job I decided to make a career change and go back to college. Between 2000 and 2004 I progressed through Newcastle college studying music technology and music production although the real education was working casual imbertween college hours, pushing boxes, running cables and sometimes pushing buttons.

By the time I left college in 2004 I had amassed a good amount of experience in the live events industry to secure enough casual and freelance work to support myself where I secured a job as Sound technican on a UK theatre tour called Moscow by Night. Since 2004 I have worked as a sound and lighting technician for varous shows, conferences, gigs in the North East and arround the UK.

So what can I do......
