He is also the founder of Firefly Sound Labs, a trusted company in live sound, post-production, and consulting, and the creator of SRV Theory, a platform dedicated to exploring the guitar style and legacy of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
For nearly two decades, Alan has been at the forefront of the music and production industry, offering his expertise in live and studio mixing, front-of-house engineering, and technical production. His work has influenced countless churches, worship teams, and independent artists, refining their sound and enhancing their production capabilities.
Alan’s deep passion for authentic Texas blues guitar led him to create SRV Theory, a YouTube channel and learning platform that breaks down the technique, tone, and artistry of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Through this project, Alan shares his years of performance experience, tone crafting, and deep understanding of blues guitar techniques, inspiring fellow musicians worldwide.
In 2024, Alan expanded his expertise into production consulting, working directly with churches, AV teams, and musicians to optimize their audio workflows, technical infrastructure, and live sound production.

He has spoken on podcasts, such as Rebels with Grace, and at various churches and recovery communities, offering hope and encouragement to those on their own path to healing. His story serves as a testament to the power of discipline, passion, and faith, inspiring others to overcome challenges and pursue meaningful, fulfilling lives.
Together since 2023, Alan fell in love with Jane at first sight shortly after getting sober.
