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.
