From a young age Toby has been actively involved in the recording and broadcasting of audio. He had a studio in his bedroom from the age of 10, and after high school completed his degree in broadcasting communications.
He was employed in the New Zealand radio industry for 5 years, not just producing adverts, imaging and features but also as a creative writer. Toby has also taught seminars in audio recording, and has tutored in computer editing, recording and sound design at the CPIT New Zealand Broadcasting School. In 2004 Toby won the top award for sound design at the national New Zealand radio awards, cementing his place as one of the leading audio engineers in the country.
Toby has been interested in business for a number of years, and has been an owner director of various companies including a nightclub audio and lighting design and supply company, and also a car audio importing business before starting The Voice Booth in 2005 with Dave Dunlay.
He is married with 2 children.
