Below is my Live Production Experience
Outcry Tour
The christian festival tour "Outcry", was a 12 show, 3 week tour. Some of the bands included Hillsong United (Headliner), David Crowder and Kari Jobe. These are only a few of the 9 bands on the tour. My job was the Patching Technician. I was to patch the stage per band. With 7 bands per night and 15 minute change overs, I had no time to second guess my job.
The gear included 24 L-Acoustics VDOSC (Main PA), 18 L-Acoustics Kudo (Side Fills), 12 L-Acoustics DVDOSC (Down/Delay Clusters) and 18 L-Acoustics SB28 (Subs) all powered by Lab Gruppen PLM series amps. AVID Profile for Front of House and Monitor consoles. 2 52 channel splitter heads with multiple W4 and W1 mass connects.

Free Lance
I have been hired by other groups or companies outside of Mid America or Elliott Hall of Music. One major show is Giant Spectacular, an annual show choir competition at Ben Davis High School. During these shows, the gear varies, but gives me multiple chances to keep my skills in shape.
