About the Presenter:

Luke Goodloomis’ journey into the world of sound began
reading audio manuals and AES Journals, volunteering at his church’s audio
department, and studying clarinet and piano classical performance and jazz
improvisation. After earning an undergraduate degree in accounting, he
course-corrected a bit to pursue his true passion for audio and audiovisual
systems – finding employment as a procurement manager for an AV integration
firm, later transitioning to audiovisual systems engineer and project manager,
where he gained hands-on experience in systems design, installation, and
commissioning. At the recommendation of his work colleagues and owner of the AV
Integration firm, Luke returned to school and earned a degree in film scoring
from CSUN while immersing himself in the independent film scene as a producer,
sound designer, and surround sound remixer. After leaving Los Angeles and
moving to Oakland, Ca, Luke and his wife founded Integrated Music, a nonprofit
promoting interdisciplinary music and arts education and exploring the
intrinsic health value of music and culture.

Luke currently serves as Principal Consultant with TEECOM, a
low-voltage and technology only consulting firm, where he has been a vital team
member for over 13 years. He has led projects across various market sectors,
including corporate workplace, higher education, sports venues, and some of the
nation’s premier hospitals. Luke is recognized for his ability to design and
implement seamless audiovisual solutions which enhance user experiences. In
recent years, he has become a trusted technology advisor (friend) to the Rose
Center Engineering team at the American Museum of Natural History, contributing
to the development of cutting-edge cultural and educational spaces.

Luke lives in Portland, Or with his wife and two children,
two cats, five chickens, and year-round yard work. When not writing
specifications and answering RFIs Luke enjoys photography, cooking, camping,
and reading technical audio and sound-related materials.
