A proven leader in the live event production industry, safety driven, and goal oriented, I am seeking a challenging opportunity to manage and lead large projects where my advanced skills, education, and extensive training, and many years of experience can be fully utilized!Tour ready (w/ passport) No tech needed. Furthest thing from prima donna. Draw it..

Sante Fe Springs, California

Advanced rapidly from tech to director. A full time position which started off in the shop, I would tech and repair intelligent moving light fixtures. I got settled in quickly, learning where everything goes, seeing how the shop operates. I started going out on gigs, as the lighting and dimmer tech L2 position. I learned a ton from James Sidler, Ryan Burke.

Pomona, California

Corporate style production house where I was able to get an old version of vectorworks to practice on. Mostly did small corporate style gigs, a few speakers and a mixer set ups, some uplighting, maybe a projector or 2. Not enough lights in the inventory to keep me interested and I wanted to get back to the beach!

Murietta, CA

A company I would freelance for when I first moved to California. Alan (owner) still hits me up every now and then for a gig. I help him out when I can.

Irvine, California

Smaller, more corporate client based company where I was able to get more experience in audio, video, and lighting. I was hired and brought on as the shop manager and I pretty much did everything here since the owner was more involved with his Tequila company. Having just acquired FLEX RENTAL SOLUTIONS, I barcoded every item in the shop and entered all.

San Diego, CA 92108

When I first moved out to California I was living in Menifee, CA with my cousin who is stationed at March Air Force base. She is a drone pilot! I contacted the closest IATSE as soon as I got here and found work right away! I get down to the gig and see a flatbed sitting there full of Staging Dimensions decks! I got lucky and was put on electrics, but I.

New Castle, Delaware

PM Andy Rougvie kind of took me under his wing. He was like a good football coach you wanted to work hard for. I remember the first time he took me out on a gig we were in the truck and he says " you don't talk much do you." I opened up a bit more on the next few, worked hard, knowing something good is gonna pop up soon. Sure enough, I walk into the shop.

New Castle, Delaware

Scott Humphrey's staging company which was located next door to Light Action when I was working there at the time, on Industrial Blvd. My paycheck still said Light Action but the first 9 months I worked there I really only did staging. I paid close attention in the fab shop next door. I thought it was so cool, and so smart of Scott. I would go over there.

Wilmington, Delaware

Working here was the experience of a lifetime for me. I learned all the ins and outs of a large theatre house and everything that goes into the production of a broadway show! Including but not limited to Chicago, Catz, Anything Goes, Grease, Les Miserables, Titanic, Hello Dolly, and Mama Mia "This Victorian gem proudly remains the oldest legitimate.

Wilmington, Delaware

Great experience where I learned so much working under Technical Director Bob Parker. Skills performed here included but not limited to scenic carpentry, plaster, welding, stitching, and painting. Building scenery and set pieces for all types of operas and plays considering budget and time limitations.

Bear, Delaware

Whenever I needed some extra work I would help my father (producer) out here. I did inventory a few times and some installs with Ron Casalvera and some A/V gigs with Nick Marques. Great learning experience.

Wilmington, Delaware

BA Michael Harrington took a quick liking to me. My work ethic, my size, and my smarts were just what he needed for the calls he was getting and giving out work for outside of the playhouse. Delaware being so small, but close to other major cities, it was usually the Local #8 (Philadelphia) or Local #19 (Baltimore) BA who was calling him because they.

Wilmington, Delaware

This theatre really hits home for me. I took guitar lessons upstairs as a kid. A cartoon sketch I did when I was 13 of Will Griffith (A1 & musical genius) is still hanging up here to this day. My father would do side gigs here on the weekends mostly so he would always bring me along. The other stagehands didn't mind because I was big for my age, and I was.

Wilmington, Delaware

This was my first job after leaving college, and boy did it make me miss it! Not knowing what I wanted to do but thinking another skill and money will work for now. I asked my cousin if he could get me into the IW union with him. I always admired big city buildings, ever since I was a kid, and I also loved to climb. From monkey bars, to trees, to water.

Hockessin, Delaware

This was a summer job I had while I was in high-school. Here I learned basic electrical, plumbing, and carpentry in a rehab and healthcare building which housed mostly senior citizens. It was a great job because I would walk into a resident's room and their face would just light up almost every time. I would fix something in the room, simple stuff like.
