Aspiring Luthier, Instrument and amplifier repair technician, musician
I felt patriotic and joined the military many moons ago, with the knowledge that I was going to be giving up a part of me, that I knew I should have dealt with first.
I have given a lot for this country and only wish to be given the opportunity to flourish within the Audio Engineering Trade; along with every sub group that it can offer.
During the years in which I was injured and some had down time due to surgeries.
I found myself getting back into music theory, time signatures, sound and vibration, dissonance vs consonance, and production quality.
All of which, has sparked a fire in my heart to keep grinding towards my new civilian life and seek out what I gave up prior.
As a Technician within the military, I had the opportunity to learn basic electrical, hands on with mechanical systems, and build a professional approach within reference towards machining to a thousands of an inch.
I was given the chance to be a leader and grabbed that with every ounce of energy that I could muster; which in turn led to music.
Being able to collaborate, record, and be open minded; is something that I believe that I have mastered throughout my years in the service.
I only wish to be able to do so in a different working environment; one in which I know I will fit right into just fine.
I absolutely love sound, whether its from a hundred pound round from a cannon, to a busker on the streets playing a melodic session on the street.
