Casey Burnham

Audio Director, Sound Engineer & Elevation Enthusiast

About Casey

A former Idahoan who traded potato fields for mountain trails, I earned a degree in Audio Engineering from the University of Colorado, Denver. I've spent the last decade dialing in mixes and troubleshooting gear that swore it was working just yesterday. I spend my days wrangling mics, fixing things no one else saw break, and convincing everyone it was fine all along. When I'm not in a black box or behind a console, you can find me above the treeline β€” scrambling up peaks, letting the trail detail my truck, and dragging my dog along for the ride. He's not always impressed.
