Todays demandingly complicated shows and events require experienced people who can see many angles and are skilled at working through issues to achieve results.
I feel confident my easy going, but exacting attitude can be of benefit to any production. My experience lends it self to supervision in the role of Line Producer and Technical Coordination.
