Light, color, motion... I’ve always loved playing in these mediums.

 

From my first job as a photographer at JCPenney portraits to a traveling Audio Visual Project Manager for corporate events, I’ve always had a knack for visual creation.

At 16 I was between music, acting and motion graphics as college major pursuits.  Ultimately I chose music but have always worked  on creating visual art.

It started off when I got my first camera at the age of 11 and the two week trip to the Mediterranean my parents took my brother and I on.  The harshest punishment I received on that trip was my camera being taken away for a day as my parents used it to document my prepubescent angst amidst the ruins of Ephesus.  I started shooting everything. Skaters, my friends, scenic.  I loved finding these moments of light. These moments of life. 

Right around that time I got sucked into the production team at the mega church my family had just joined. It was there i built on my theatre production skills and learned everything from live studio production and camera operating to lighting design with over 120 instruments and 2 boards at my disposal.

Within the worlds of live event production I’ve worked as a painter, lighting designer, photographer, rigger, scenic/set designer, costume stylist, stage manager, video producer/editor, grip, project manager, technical director, carpenter… It’s been a wonderful life of learning and understanding every facet that goes into any production.
