It all started about 8 years ago when a friend of mine who was one of the owners of Wildcard asked me
to come work for him on their road crew. We were to set up all the equipment and make sure everything
was working alright for the musicians to come in and play. I met alot of great people and
singers/musicians and I was hooked. After a couple of years and more experience I started running the
stage monitor board and that's where I got the feel for running sound. I would say my biggest influences
were from my buddy Craig Schaefer and My wife's Uncle, T.J. Swanson, Without them I wouldn't know
half of what I know now. When Gary asked me to come run sound for him I was stoked that he had that
much faith in me...but I am glad he did! It's great job, and where else can you drink cold Beer and listen
to great music!
