About me

I am a flexible and reliable technician with a wide knowledge base and have been working within the tech industry for some time. Most recently I completed a contract with the Walt Disney Company where I held the title of Show Control Technician specifically for Disney Cruise Line. In this role, I was responsible for programming and operating all video, lighting, special effects and pyrotechnics for all theatre shows and deck stage outdoor performances. From singers and magicians to story theme ‘west end’ style shows I feel my experiences have made me very versatile and good at adapting to different venues and types of performance.
My versatility extends to my extensive programming and operating knowledge, in particular with Grand MA2, HOG 3 and 4 lighting consoles. I also have a familiarity with Avolites and Zero 88 jester consoles.
I have previous experience maintaining Mac Quantum’s, Mac 700’s, Mac Aura’s Highend solaspots, Vairlite VL3500’s as well as LED Source 4’s, generic Source 4 and Par cans; I feel this broad knowledge would serve me well in a wide variation of jobs.
I have previous experience with installations and rigging from two extensive dry dock theatre fittings with Disney so feel I would be a useful team member when setting up new shows and systems.
Aside from my Lighting experience, I have familiarity with digital audio consoles such as the Yamaha range as well as experience mixing sound for live events and multitrack recordings.
