About me

I have been working with in the entertainment and Production industry for 15 years and I have gained a lot of experience of different types of productions and venues in that time. The last 8 have more focused on the stage and automation side with a little bit of performer flying thrown in also. I have had the opportunity to work on a number of different systems and desks including Foy, Wagner Biro, SKS Mechatronic, Tait and Bosch, I am also ways looking to expand my knowledge of stage systems as well as other technologies. Working alongside the lighting and sound departments over the years has expanded my knowledge and I am able to assist in trouble shooting complex issues when needed.
I would welcome the challenge and pressures of working on new productions or within new venues and also look forward to learning new systems and shows.
