Casey Burnham
I'm Casey, a sound engineer who's been mixing theater in Colorado for about a decade. I spend most of my time making sure audiences can actually hear the actors, troubleshooting feedback loops, and pretending I'm not stressed during tech week. I started in college radio, got my Audio Engineering degree from CU Denver, and learned that live theater has a special talent for breaking equipment at the worst possible moment. Originally from Idaho, I traded dirt and potatoes for mountains and mines. When the weather cooperates, I drive old roads that test my truck's suspension and my mental fortitude, hike above tree-line, and hunt for pioneer cemeteries. When it doesn't, I'll be digging through record bins. My dog usually has opinions about all of this.
