Student Success!

My former KSU students hard at work !

 

 

     I have had the honor and pleasure of teaching college classes at Kent State University since 2001. These classes have included very specific and technical sound design and technology classes, graduate and senior level writing intensive theatre criticism classes, and "Art of the Theatre" theatrical study classes. I have also served as advisor to student sound designers on KSU productions as well as mentoring practicum and independent study students. These are a few photos of my former and present students engaged in real world employment.

   

After a very successful 2 years at Colortone in Cleveland, Ohio, Ben moved to Columbus, Ohio where he is currently employed as a technician at Hughie's AV Columbus division. His duties have included (but have certainly not been limited to) Production Manager for the Cincinnati, Ohio Barack Obama campaign rally, audio engineeer for the Columbus Saving Jane concert, the PASIC Annual Conference in Austin, TX, the Ohio State free concert featuring T-Pain, as well as several Macy's special events featuring Sarah Jessica Parker and Clinton Kelly to name a few.
