LIVE SOUND ENGINEER-STAGE MANAGER-BAND TECH-CREW CHIEF

Max Creek
2004-present. Monitor Engineer/Stage Manager/Band Tech.
Duties include setting up band equipment, line checking, sound checking, and most importantly keeping musicians happy on stage during the performance. This regional band has played for longer than I am old. World class sit-ins from members of the Grateful Dead to the Talking Heads have all graced the stage while I was working.

Camp Creek
Stage Manager
A weekend long music festival with mulitple bands playing throughout the weekend. A simple job combined with the unrealistic pressures of nature, egos, and time. Working with multiple AV companies, crew and musicians, my job was to ensure a trouble free weekend. Whether covering gear in the rain, or making sure the crew got fed, nothing was to small to be overlooked.

Kreutzmann, Burbridge and Murawski (aka KBM Trio)
2008 Tour Technician/Monitor Engineer/Stage Manager/Driver
That's a mouthful alright. But that's what I do when this band tours. Working in different clubs, on different gear is a treat and challenge I enjoyed tremendously. I look forward to more tours with these guys.

Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel

2004-present. Sound Engineer
A variety of bands keeps it interesting. My most rewarding nights are when the band needs me to mix for them. I have mixed monitors for NAS, New Found Glory, Patton Oswalt, South Side Johnny, Wu Tang, Tarrus Riley, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Ryan Montbleau, and many many others.

Gathering of the Vibes

2005-present. Audio Crew Chief
Together with my small crew, and part of a larger crew, maintained two side by side 60 foot stages. My crew was responsible for all stage wiring. I was responsible to make sure my crew did it GREAT. With over 20,000 people in attendance, I was forced to be on top of my game. During 18 hour days, my team ensured all was well for The Black Crowes, Phil and Friends, Neville Brothers, Mike Gordon, and that was only a sampling of the bands during my four years.

Inspiration Unlimited-China Care Foundation
Part of production crew that produced shows with Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, Bonnie Raitt and Robert Randolph. Remarkable shows just for there size, less than 400 people at each show, even more so for the logistics. A custom built stage and tent was just the begining. Working with multi billion dollar clients was new and exciting. Working with those artists was even better.

OTHER
I have done AV and Sound work with:
Ryan Montbleau Band, Redken, Paul Mitchell, Emergency Production, Mass AV, Indigo Design, Atomic Pro Audio, Fungus Amungus, Funkatronic, Rev Tor Band, Domino Theory, and more. Shows I have been part of include John McCain, in Warwick and also at Bridgewater Headquarters in CT. I did FOH for Al Dimeola in Westerly. For an event put on by WBRU featuring Ben Folds Five, I was crewchief for the day long production. Other clients I have been involved with include Textron, CVS, Supreme Coucil of the Scottish Rite, Hasbro, Met Life, and more.

For three years I was in charge of the afternoon drive
time slot at WALE990, a talk radio station. My duties included pre production, setting up and handling on air guests, as well as producing and broadcasting the weather reports. As important as the live broadcasts, my job was to maintain our internet streams for worldwide broadcast.
