A Quick Peek Into My Philosophy

Every problem has a solution.
You can only spend time on the details after you provide the basics.
If it's worth knowing, it's worth documenting!
A positive attitude fixes at least 30% of every issue.

Props

As a props artisan and manager I emphasize the importance of organization and attention to detail. I'm an accomplished carpenter, foam carver, and set dresser, with a background in historical research that is useful for period productions.

While stage managing I am proud to say I have excellent sense of cue timing and problem solving. I'm a friendly communicator and efficient coordinator, and my experience with theatrical technology and special effects makes me uniquely qualified.

Scenery

As a painter, set decorator, and scenic designer I know that each part of a set tells a story. I enjoy drawing an audience into the world of a production through unique pieces and communicating tone without ever saying a word.
