About me
I have been working as a freelance Master Electrician, Programmer and Rigger based in Chicago since 2012. I spend most of my time traveling around North America from one job to another - be it a trade show, corporate meeting, theatre production, or touring concert. I have had the opportunity to light, rig, and production manage a wide variety of events in a wide variety of settings, and I enjoy the fact that I still get to see and experience new things every day.I am very passionate about concert, theatre, and event lighting, and strongly believe that every job is only worth doing if it is done well. I approach every project I take on with the utmost attention to safety, quality, and efficiency. To that end, I am constantly looking to further my knowledge base and skill set within my field, and welcome not only job opportunities, but training opportunities as well.
