First I'm an avid audio guy with a passion for good sound. I moonlight as a working musician and I'm the lead guitarist of the band RIVUL, down here in south Louisiana. http://www.facebook.com/rivulband

I use CIEM's on stage and have been using them for years. I listen to just about every genre of music, but my passion is hard rock, alternative rock, classic rock, southern rock.

About 2 years ago, give or take a few months, I reached out to Barra because someone had sticky fingers when it came to a tour that I was taking part in. I told Barra my qualifications and helped in recovering the tour kit, which was worth about $6K. Since then I've been helping out to make these tours a little more secure.

I've been a police officer for 22 years and currently I'm a detective supervisor. I've investigated just about every type of crime or case you can think of but over the last 10-12 years my specialty is digital forensics. Simply put, I track people down using their digital fingerprints and online footprints. I also do computer forensics, cell phone forensics, audio forensics and video forensics. So I'm here to make the manufacturer's who let us preview their products feel all warm and fuzzy with knowing that Audiotiers is doing the best it can at making sure that all the potential customers get to preview their products and that their risk is minimized.

I'm a big warm fuzzy teddy bear most of the time with a gruff exterior and enough sarcasm to go around. Hope that helps guys! Have fun and enjoy the tours! I can't wait to see what this turns into.

As the website is just coming up, we've tried to insure most, if not all, features are operational. As you can imagine, there may be combinations of features that were not tested thoroughly.

As you use the site, from enrollment to forums to messaging, etc. please drop a note here if you encounter some unexpected behavior or result. We'll do our best to reproduce it and sort it out asap. 

Thanks!

We listen to our tour member's suggestions and bring them to life once we get the support of 15 participants. Please post your ideas here for discussion. The popular ideas will be turned into a "Tour Idea" post where members can sign up for the tour. When we get 15 people to sign up for the suggested tour, we will reach out to the manufacturer and do our best to negotiate a tour. When successful and a kit is committed by the manufacturer, we will confirm our success by converting that post - rename it - from "Tour Idea" to "Coming Soon" and provide input on timing and the agreed-upon tour kits.

Let the discussions begin. :)
