About me

I'm a theatre technician who specializes in lighting technologies and design. I look at lighting as a combination of my two favorite things: theatre and technology. Starting with video games - the effects that colors, shadows, and angles can have on a scene have always interested me, and being able to replicate that on a stage thrills me. Most of all, I am excited to see how technology and art continue to work together to evolve the theatre industry.
