This is John Gleeson.
I’m a reliable, passionate and creative audio engineering student currently studying a Bachelor of Audio at SAE and looking to further my audio engineering career across a range of industries including live sound, post-production, mastering, game sound design, broadcast audio and music production.
As I’m new to the audio industry, I’m open to exploring as many opportunities that may arise and can bring a unique set of hands-on skills developed in my 15+ years as a carpenter and lifetime of experience being immersed in live music, festivals and records.

Carpenter
2003 – 2019
With over 15 years experience as a carpenter, I’ve built a set of skills that can be transferred to my audio career including professional skills such as liaising with clients, being highly organised, budgeting, collaborating and working to desired outcomes.
Throughout my career I’ve built strong relationships with clients, colleagues and my employers. I am well liked and ensure that I leave a good impression when dealing with anyone I interact with. This has enabled me to have many opportunities throughout my career including training apprentices, working autonomously and supervising jobs myself.
