Consulting

With my expertise spanning a variety of audio-related and audio-adjacent fields, I just lump these into 'other services'. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested in exploring any of these avenues further.

If you're interested in expanding your knowledge in this exciting field, consider enrolling in my class and discover the fascinating world of acoustics.
