I am a stagehand, AV & lighting technician with going on 20 years of experience in events and live entertainment.
I've worked in a range of public, private, corporate and governmental environments.
Prior to my freelance work, I produced a variety of my own events.
Additionally, I spent two years working for the AllMusic guide.
I believe that my passion for art, music & live entertainment make me an asset to any creative project.
I am currently working with a number of production companies, venues & labor agencies and always fielding opportunities within the city of Chicago (or reasonable commute).
Willing to travel if arrangements and/or additional compensation can be offered.
If you're interested in hiring me for a project, shoot me an email [metalbabble@gmail.com] and I can provide you with my current resume, rates, references and any other required information.
Or if you prefer, you can reach out via LinkedIn.
