With a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering under his belt, Richmond made Canada his home in 2006. As a music enthusiast, Richmond pursued further education in the industry, studying Recording Arts.
Working first as a repair technician at an audio store in Toronto, he met the Sonex team and became a client. After almost a decade of fixing and maintaining Sonex gear, Igal and Mike decided to train Richmond and make him part of the team .
Smart couple of guys Igal and Mike are!.

Before the birth of Sonex, Igal worked for the CBC in Television, Radio and Sports Mobiles between the mid 80s to the mid 90s. From music recording to morning radio shows , live sporting and election events, those are the experiences have helped shape this location sound recordist.
SONEX has the skills and knowledge to capture the best location audio regardless of complexity - from the whisper of a breeze to a jet fighter being catapulted off an aircraft carrier.
