Livingston Fider Jr., the Chief Technology Officer at mCs, brings a unique blend of experiences and skills to the company, shaped by his time as an NCO in the U.S. Army's Old Guard and his role as a Tomb Guard at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as his experiences with neural divergence, autism, and dyslexia. These diverse aspects of his life have become superpowers for Livingston, enabling him to approach music production and audio engineering with a disciplined, innovative, and empathetic mindset.
