I’m the Technical Director of a good-sized church. As such, I oversee all technical aspects of the weekend services; sound, lighting, video, presentation and even some stage design and set up. In my current role, my time is split between all those disciplines. But at the end of the day, my passion is sound. So [...]

The Other New System
Sometimes I wish I was an audio director and not a technical director. Audio is what I get excites me, and what I stay awake at night thinking about. However, at this stage in my life, God has me doing what He’s gifted me to do; build good technical systems, processes and the teams to [...]
Memorial Service Guidelines
Those that follow me on Twitter will no doubt know that a few weeks ago we had a large memorial service. And I when I use the descriptor “large,” I don’t mean we had a lot of people. I mean it was large! The final run sheet (yes, we had a run sheet) had 28 [...]
CTDRT SoCal Area Meet Up March 8
I’ve been twittering about this, posting to the CTDRT Google group and even e-mailed a few people but I felt I should also mention this meeting here. A week from today, on March 8, TDs from all over Southern California will be gathering in Orange County to encourage and learn from each other. I’ve been [...]
WFX, Here We Come!
This morning, my associate TD, Gary, and I (though I often refer to him as the Assistant to the Technical Director–just for fun) will be heading east to Charlotte, NC to attend WFX. I was able to go last year, and had a great time. It was fun being able to hang out with Colin [...]

It’s good advice for life to be sure; and it has particular importance for those of us charged with [...]
The Big News
OK, I’ve been promising this for days on Twitter, it’s time to spill the beans. I’ve been on staff for about 18 months at a really cool church outside of Minneapolis. We’ve gone from being a sub-ministry at an older and larger church to a church plant. That transition has been a lot of work, and [...]
Asking for Help
I made a conscious decision some years ago that I was not going to be able to know everything. This may seem like an incredibly obvious conclusion to come to, but up until that time I was on a all-out quest for knowledge of all things audio/visual. But one day, I was reading about Albert [...]
Studio Monitor “Shootout”
I was waiting for my daughter at middle school when the call came in. “Mike, I’m headed over to Guitar Center to listen to studio monitors for my production suite. Wanna come with?” I enjoy playing with all kinds of gear, but speakers are perhaps my favorite, mainly because the differences are so profound. The [...]
