  Robert Morris University

  Aug 2012 - Apr 2018

  Technical Director

  At Robert Morris University, I worked as the Technical Director for their five show season each year. I worked closely with the director to make sure the shows technical aspects (lighting, audio, set, etc.) were all operating smoothly. I designed and built the set from start to finish on most of the productions. I also acted as Lighting Designer for most of the productions, programmed the in house ETC Ion and taught students how to operate it. Additionally, I managed the student workers during the performances, making sure every position was covered. During the off time in the season, I handled the cleaning and upgrading of the stage, lighting, and audio equipment. Bench focusing all SourceFour lekos, cleaning all fixtures and battons of dust, etc. I also planned and organized the purchase of lumber and tools for the next show, as well as, managed the rentals of lighting, audio and scenic drops.

  Three Rivers Entertainment & Production

  Apr 2016 - Jan 2019

  Production Specialist

  While working with Three Rivers Entertainment and Production I was able to further my knowledge on all aspects of a production. During shop time throughout the week I would pull and tech through lighting fixtures, such as LEDs (COLORdash Batten-Hex 8, COLORdash Par-Hex 12, etc.) Moving Fixtures (VL3500, VLX, Robe Pointes, Robe BMFLs, Rogue R2s, etc.), and a variety of conventional's.Once on site for a production, I would lead a small team of union hands (IATSE Local 3) through the load in. I would lead them through the hang and focus according to the CAD plot, monitor the power and data cable runs and verify everything is securely and safely connected, check power consumptions on circuits to verify we are within a safe operating range, and make sure everything is safely tightened and secured with safeties prior to the truss going to trim. On some productions I would install rigging components, such as motor points, per the head riggers instruction. After lighting was installed, I would help with audio and video aspects of the production to make sure all areas of the production are finalized inside the allotted load in time.During the show, I would program the lighting console (Hog4, Hog3, ETC Eos Family) per the clients request.After the show, I would assist with load out to make sure all aspects made it back in to road cases and made it safely back to the shop.I have my medical card. So while working with them, I would drive 24'-26' box trucks. Show less
