Thomas Kvamme - Audio Engineer

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0700

I have been pushing buttons and turning knobs ever since I was a little kid when my dad brought me to the radio station he worked at for 'take you child to work day'. I have loved running live sound since I started at 13 years ago at 11 years old. I am currently attending McNally Smith for Live Sound and Studio Recording. I am looking for a position running live sound somewhere or an opprotunity to gain some experience in a recording studio. I would love to talk with you about any opening you have and if I would be the right fit.

If you have any questions about my experience, training, availability or anything else don't hesitate to contact me.
