I'm Jason Strotman, a senior at Costa Mesa High School, and I've always enjoyed theatre. From my first production, it's been a defining part of my life. This love, although starting on the stage, has seeped through to some of the other aspects of stagecraft. Around the same time I really got into theatre, I had also found a love in computer programming, and overall technology as a whole. I decided to take this love for technology, and love for theatre, and meld them together--mixing both my creative and analytical side. Having worked in many areas of the technical field, I found my adoration for lighting design.
