About

My design and engineering work spans from On and Off-Broadway productions to major regional theaters, where I gained hands-on skills and knowledge of the varieties of new technology and equipment for every show to build the system, make it function properly, and operate them. I see the values in working toward goals in a team and share the achievement with the colleagues. In the creative process of theatre productions, I appreciate the aspect of collaborative work to achieve one artistic common goal with the specialists in their various fields.
