The Man Behind The Magic

More than just equipment — it's about creating experiences that last a lifetime

Passion Meets Precision

I didn't just stumble into event production — I was born for it. At 16, I was already behind the decks, learning the craft that would become my life's calling. Today, as Chief Operations Officer of 301 Events, I combine technical mastery with creative vision to deliver world-class events.

Every wire I connect, every speaker I position, every mix I create — it's all in pursuit of one goal: making your event extraordinary. I've worked with everyone from local church celebrations to international corporate galas, and I bring the same passion to every single one.

My expertise spans sound engineering, lighting design, stage production, and DJ performance. But more importantly, I understand what makes an event memorable — the perfect blend of technical excellence and emotional connection.
