Live sound is my life! I've been doing live sound professionally since 1973
I'm continually learning and trying to find better ways to get the best-sounding events
Based in Thousand Oaks, CA, I have a California S Corp (Newman Audio Inc.), so billing is simple.
I typically bring an array of supplemental audio devices to every project to maximize the potential.
