Glenn Wheeler
Glenn Wheeler, the grandson of Houston Radio Pioneer, Harvey ”the judge” Wheeler {long time chief engineer KPRC radio}, knew at a very early age, that he wanted to be involved in the business and engineering of music. In the early 70’s, Glenn was seen tapping his toe to the sounds of a Big Band at the grand opening of the Houston Inter-Continental Airport hotel.

Glenn has engineered for a wide variety of musical acts, television broadcasts, remote recordings, has mixed for venues as large as 35,000 people, and has designed numerous systems for home, worship, concert and studio applications.
A grammy nominated engineer, he has worked with a wide variety of both local and national artists as well as many record lables. From classical, jazz, country, pop, christian, gospel, opera, choral, symphonic, and military band music, he continues to help clients make great music.
