I always bring a quiet focus, my full attention, and my passion with me for whenever I’m getting in on a show day. I recognize that I am in a people-first industry, and put calm communication and mutual understanding at the forefront of what I’m there to do.

I currently only have a small pool of my own personal gear I am comfortable bringing to productions. I cannot provide any PA or lighting equipment for a given production. For example, inside my case, I have a small collection of industry standard microphones, monitoring headphones, and an iPad for mixing wirelessly*. Any items that are essential to the production and are not provided by the production that I myself have to bring, will be rented to the recipient and billed within an itemized invoice.

* I do not bill for items I bring in my case that simply improve my workflow, increase the value of the work I’m able to do as an engineer, or better use or protect your equipment. Examples of these items include: cable tester, SPL meter, signal generator, multimeter, and spare adapters & batteries.

I am currently billing at a rate between $35-$50 an hour for time spent on-site. All things considered, such as my experience and the quality of services I’m able to provide, this is the current market rate I’ve come to choose as a person providing skilled labor while being self-employed. The rate is variable to both the type/amount of work I’m contracted to perform, and the duration for which I am needed. Per diem rates are appreciated during longer durations.
