Professional Summary
I am a happy geek living in Las Vegas. I have had a lifelong fascination with stuff that regular folks enjoy only in small doses - theme parks. I also enjoy photography, art, music composition, writing, long walks on the beach, etc... whatever whim hits me at the moment.
I have spent 20 years working in theme parks (Walt Disney World, WDI, Six Flags, MGM Grand Adventures, Splashtown USA) and live theater. Currently, I'm an Automation Technician for Cirque du Soleil's "The Beatle's LOVE". I've previously worked on shows including "Mystere", "Fantasmic", "Light Motors Action Stunt Show" and "Sid and Marty Krofft's Blast".
I work part time for a show control and automation company (http://ShowGOFX.com ) so I can do cool projects in my spare time and I also write music for a video game company in Washington (http://tinderboxentertainment.com ).
Anyway, that is my identity summed up and ripe for the stealing. Drop me a line and say hello!
