In this episode of the Sound Design Live podcast, I want to share with you an interview that I did Nate Schneider at AV Shop Talk. We talk about the technical challenges I faced while touring with the Ringling Brothers Circus, how I got my first jobs in the 7 different cities I’ve lived in, and the advice I would give to the 23-year-old me.
