Who Am I?
Bob Womack
Audio Post Production Design Engineer
The year 1957 was a great one for many things: Chevrolets, Gibson Les Paul guitars, electric watches, Frisbees, the Cavern Club (Liverpool), and ME (I was born that year)! I spent my childhood playing in the woods outside Knoxville, Tennessee and running to the Great Smoky Mountains and the various lakes in East Tennessee. In 1970, when I was thirteen, my parents gave me a Sears Silvertone Classical guitar. That same year, I was roped into mixing my first live radio broadcast. It was all downhill from there! During high school, I played in the usual lot of garage bands and spent hours in the woodshed honing my chops. After graduating from high school, I studied at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. Beginning in 1979, I studied Music Composition and Recording Techniques at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
While at Covenant College, I met the girl of my dreams, the former Ruth Elizabeth Czarniak, a lovely, wonderful gal who is also my best friend. Ruth was a 1977 New Jersey All-State choral first soprano, so we share an abiding love of music. We spent my last year at Covenant wandering Lookout Mountain and getting to know each other. In 1980, we were married at her home church in the shadow of the Watchung Mountains in New Jersey. A year later I accepted my first career job and we traveled to a state far from our families and set up housekeeping. We have two great sons, Ian and Trevor, a wonderful daughter-in-law (Tanya), and granddaughter (Naomi).
Since 1981, I've been employed as an audio recording engineer. I've engineered live televsion shows and edited recorded ones, I've been a sound designer, performed audio post production for video, and recorded and mixed music. Meanwhile, I have freelanced album projects, written scores for productions, created and taught audio recording techniques courses, and written the odd magazine article and web page.
In my spare time, I love to play guitar (fingerstyle, blues, rock, classical), listen to music, and study World War II, especially the air war in Europe and the US submarine campaign in the Pacific. I scour the region around me learning about its Revolutionary and Civil War history and visiting the many historical sites.
