Jeffrey Keirsey
PROJECT CONSULTANT
Jeffrey grew up in a musically inclined family and has always maintained an active interest in music and sound since his youth. Playing music in band and orchestra in high school, that interest eventually turned into a passion that led to pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music Technologies from Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri). From there he started his career in studio production and live sound reinforcement with an emphasis on the performing arts in music and theater.
Some notable artists that Jeffrey has mixed for include Broadway actress and singer Indina Menzel, American singer-songwriters Aretha Franklin and Lyle Lovet. Other notable clients include Vice President, now President, Joe Biden.
Prior to joining the Avant team, Jeffrey was Sound Director for a LORT (League of Resident Theaters) theater where he developed methods and standards of practices and taught technical sound design for graduate and undergraduate studies at The University of Missouri-Kansas City.
When not focused on work, you can find Jeffrey spending time with his children, tinkering with musical electronics, or engaged in a woodworking project.
Jeffrey is a member of the Audio Engineering Society.
