Lighting designer, lighting programmer, and media systems for corporate events, conventions, immersive venues, and arenas.
Selected shows, sorted by what I did on them.
I've designed, programmed, and run lighting and media systems since the early 1990s: automated lighting at Walt Disney World, national tours as lighting director, and freelance design and programming for conventions, corporate events, television, museums, and theme parks since 1998.
From 2020 to 2023 I was Production Electrician and EIC for Immersive Van Gogh and Immersive Disney Animation, building lighting and video power, network, and signal for more than 20 venues across the US and Canada.
Today I work as a lighting designer and programmer, media server operator, Sceptron tech, and master electrician, based in Orlando and available to travel.
A partial list from over thirty years of shows.
Small apps for the job, made by a working LD.
Throw distance, beam size, lens angle, and raked floor pools. Android, iPhone coming.
