About me
I am passionate about the whole music and entertainment industry, especially audio, video, lighting, rigging and staging. I am motivated to use my expertise to create the very best experience for the audience and I have a keen eye for detail and create highly professional results. I am hard working and enjoy working in a team, but can also work on my own initiative. I am trustworthy, reliable and easy to approach, a fast learner and keen to develop new skills.Additional skills:
During the 9 years I’ve worked for various different companies carrying out technical and warehouse duties. These were unloading
and loading trucks, building sets, storing bands backline away in storage cages, prepping for jobs to go out. Also designing lighting
plans for various events and shows, reading stage plans and light plans for various events. Communicating with various people to
make the show run smoothly, operating basic sound for a few shows plus operating lighting on certain lighting desks. Setting up
audio systems / rigs and lighting rigs from a small stage to a big festival stage.
I’m trusted to have keys and pass codes for certain venues and storage cages which had a lot of expensive equipment and sets
demonstrating loyalty. Plus, I have travelled to various places via train, car or bus and stayed either in hostels, hotels or camped
out, while working on certain outdoor events. I also used computer software for scanning products in and out plus designing
lighting rigs

Additional information:
I gained initial experience through the church, with audio, lighting and visuals. At The Vault live music venue in Rugby where I started basic lighting, audio, back line, crewing, load in and load out. At Rugby Theater I volunteered as stage crew and built up sets for shows. I went to a college in Hereford, studying media and music technology for six months followed by a six month work placement in Exeter at various theater companies. I then worked at a number of events, venues, festivals and logistics companies (Fly by Nite and PRG). Throughout, I also volunteered at an annual festival called Rock and Bowl and to this day I am still involved with it. I have crewed for various festivals and arena tours through different crew companies. I have completed basic Avolites lighting desk and software training course and have experience on Chamsys, owning one Chamsys lighting console.
