I have over 25 years of theater and lighting experience in the entertainment industry. Skilled in Production Management, Lighting, Sound, Special Events, and Live Events. Earning a B.S.S. in Technical Production in Lighting and Sound from Ohio University and a Master of Arts - Fine Arts from Charter University. I have a unique skill set that has allowed me to design non-traditional sets to provide lighting and scenic looks for countless clients. Working for years in the arts and entertainment industry, I have honed the ability to work and manage multiple shows, venues and crews at the same time. I have supervised professional and volunteer crews for public, private, corporate and charity functions. Designed shows everywhere from a parking garage, abandoned steel mill, concert halls, arenas and even at sea. My skills have taken me around the world working with local, national and international artist. While teaching at Hiram College, Lake Erie College and Kent State - Trumbull, I have instructed students in the basics of Stagecraft (scenic, lighting, costumes, rigging and props). Designing shows from the ground up to fit the limitations of any given venue or budget. I have put my skill to work over the years for many projects and roles: venue staff, touring, rental/production house and teacher.
