Greetings!! My name is Jim, I am 26 years old and a college graduate with a degree in Audio Production from The Art Institute of Philadelphia. I am currently working in the audiovisual and hospitality industry. I am exploring career opportunities within the media and entertainment industries that would value a creative and technical background in audio engineering and audio visual technology. Thanks for visiting.
I started this website to showcase some projects I have completed in audio production and other fields of work I take part in, as well as a place to share future projects I complete.
I hope that this site is a good example and description of my skills in audio production and other forms of media to future employers, potential freelancing opportunities, and collaborators. I hope you have enjoyed exploring my website and I look forward to hearing from you!!
