Testimonial
"I have had the pleasure of working with Darren for two years in a row now on a huge gala weekend and benefit performance concert for Berkshire Pulse, a dance school and performing arts training program in Housatonic, MA. After decades as a professional stage manager, I have worked with many a top-notch sound tech and board operator and I have to say that Darren is one of the most professional in demeanor and genuinely caring I have ever met. He is a team-player of the highest order and consistently shows up (on time!) with a "how can I help" attitude while still being a stickler for detail where his craft is concerned."

Any time our theater needs to hire in an outside audio technician, Darren is always my first call. Darren is professional, punctual, detail oriented, and a pleasure to work with. He's everything you expect and more! From the moment he stepped foot in our spaces, Darren's ability to support the talent was evident. He work quickly and efficiently, listening to the requests of the artist and adapting as necessary. He takes personal pride in all the work that he does and has never settled for "good enough."
