Experience

1. Live Product Specialist

   Solid State Logic

   Jan 2013 — Present · CA

   Joined the Solid State Logic Family on February 1st, 2013 as the first Live Product Specialist in the company\'s history. I had the privilege to participate in the development of the product when it was still a prototype and a well-kept secret in the industry. In addition, I was the first Live Sound Engineer to beta test the product, supporting the debugging process at the SSL factory and HQ in Oxford, UK from March 2013 to June of the same year. One of my most notable achievements when the SSL Live console launched to market was the creation of the Solid State Logic Live Academy for the American continent, a 10-hour course where I was solely responsible for leading and certifying during the pandemic to more than 1,800 sound engineers across the globe and around total for the last 10-years. These engineers were some of the top in the sound engineering community working with high-caliber artists such as The Killers, Celine Dione, Santana, Peter Gabriel, Jason Aldean, The Cult, YES, Caifanes, Zoe, OV7, Pepe Aguilar, Juan Gabriel, David Bowie\'s Band, Gwen Stefani, The Eagles, J-Cole, Norah Jones, Phish, Chance the Rapper, Kenny Chesney, Bruno Mars, Imagine Dragons, Thundercat, Avenged Sevenfold, Queens of the Stone Age, Phish, The Cult and many more. Some of the global organizations that have benefited from the SSL training are Clair Global, Solotech, LMG, High-Tech Audio, Spectrum Sound, Morris Light & Sound, Sound Image, Sound Bridge, Meridian Pro, Serpro, Centro Musical Moderno, and many more. Similarly, I have also trained House of Worship organizations around the US such as Church on the Move, Highlands Church, Grace Community Church, IHOPKC, Crossroads Christian Church, Denver Cherry Hills Church, St. Louis Element Church, Minneapolis Eagle Brook Church, Saddleback Church, Christ\'s Church of the Valley, The Potter\'s House, Watermark Church, and more.
