| I have been specializing in the creative aspects of technical theater, film, and video for over 20 years. The last six years I have focused primarily in the theater industry, expanding my knowledge of backstage technical processes, modeling mediums and animatronics. During this time I was involved in over 500 productions at the Arts Center at Okaloosa Walton Community College and Sprint Theater, and worked over 100 independent contractual venues throughout the Northwest Florida area. I was responsible for a broad range of technical and educational projects ranging from crew manager, properties, technical director, carpenter, lighting, audio, to classroom instruction. Capitalizing on my strengths in innovation, creativity on small budgets and versatility in backstage production, I am able to bring numerous skills to employers and contractors. | |
