Hi, I'm Ed Willock

AV Educate

AV Tech Talk

Ed got his start in AV the way many technicians do, by being a musician. As early as high school he began promoting shows for local bands, including his own, and started buying recording and live sound gear. That launched his career in audio and he started a business that worked as both a live sound provider and concert promoter. After a few tours and thousands of shows Ed began his journey into the video side of AV. Currently, his work is generally as an A1/FOH, Monitor Engineer, V1, LED Tech, or Projectionist on high end corporate events, sports broadcasts, and concerts, and recently he has begun to dive into the world of Live Streaming
