Ernie Martinez

Live Audio Engineer

Ernie Martinez on SoundBetter

Live sound engineer since 2013, mainly in house of worship settings.

Have been working with churches in my local area since 2013. Started out with running slides for presentations, dabbled in lighting, but had a major shift into audio out of a necessity and a hobby that turned into a career. Self-taught for the most part with guidance from friends, I am always on the lookout on refining my "sound."

I offer you peace of mind knowing that I am here to serve and elevate your event. Whatever you need, communicate it to me and I will get it done. I also have experience with running weddings, funerals, and birthday parties.

Let me know how I can help you!
