I am a stagehand, AV & lighting technician with 20 years of experience fielding opportunities within the city of Chicago (or reasonable commute).

Since 2016, I've built strong relationships with a number of AV companies throughout the city and have worked on hundreds of public & private events.

I've held a regular stagehand position at The Riviera Theatre (2018-present), occasionally filling in at Jam Productions' other venues: The Vic & Park West.

I also worked for House of Blues Chicago (2017-18) & Riot Fest (2016-17).

Between 2005-2016, I produced a variety of my own events in and around Detroit.

Additionally, I spent two years (2012-14) working for the AllMusic guide.

I believe that my passion for art, music & live entertainment make me an asset to any creative project.


If you're interested in hiring me for a project, shoot me an email [[email protected]] or reach out via LinkedIn and I can provide you with my current resume, rates, references and any other required information. 

Willing to travel if arrangements and/or additional compensation is offered.


 Below is a very basic outline of my qualifications:
  • setup, strike and cabling of most common lighting, audio & video applications
  • knowledge of signal paths
  • addressing & focusing lighting fixtures
  • spotlight operation
  • ability to follow a show plot
  • assembly of steel and mobile staging, risers, truss structures, scaffolding, barricades, backdrops & scenic materials
  • proper road case & cable management
  • operation of scissor & bucket lifts
  • ability to lead small crews
  • reliable, prompt, communicative, safety-minded, self-motivated & able to work under pressure​
