Directing Jeremy Camp Concert
I got the opportunity to direct IMAG for Jeremy Camp’s Christmas Tour when he came to Memphis, Tennessee. My colleague, Sean and myself took turns directing so that different style songs had a different style of directing.

Amplify
Just finished mixing audio for Amplify at Southland Christian Church. Tonight went very well and there seemed to be lots of positive feedback. There was a band that came in and played from Cincinnati Christian University. They sounded good together and were relatively easy to mix since there were just four musicians. I experimented with…

The engineering team got there at 6:30 and made sure all the gear we had been prepping for the past 2 weeks…
