I began working as a local Production Manager with Goldenvoice Presents in 1996 and then as a touring Production Manager in 1999 with the artist Macy Gray. I have worked in this capacity in many different countries throughout the world with artists such as Bauhaus, Peter Murphy,Courtney Love, Jurassic 5, Social Distortion, The Offspring and others. I have served as Tour Manager and Production Manager on tours at various levels, from those carrying multiple trucks of production, to those that relied solely on local production. I have worked in venues of various sizes, from small 500 seat theaters, to arenas. This has allowed me to acquire a vast amount of event production knowledge in a fast-paced environment that changed on a daily basis. It also forced me to develop excellent problem-solving skills, and honed my ability to multi-task under pressure.
