Growing up in a suburb of Detroit a career in professional theatre was never a thought and Broadway seemed like such a far-off place. Fast-forward a few decades, and I have spent more than 12 years touring the world with 10 different productions. I have also spent 3 years collaborating with artists and managing the lighting systems at a 4-venue experimental performing arts center outside of Albany, NY, and 18 months working as the production electrician for 14 productions at a major regional theatre in the San Francisco Bay Area. As I approach my second decade of professional work in this industry, I am amazed at the whirlwind and excited to see what awaits on the horizon.
