CURRENT MISSION

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET and light the world.

ABOUT ME

I am following my dreams and my passion. I work as a freelance Theatrical Lighting Designer here in NYC, around the country, and around the world. My work is the perfect blend of art and technology. I sometimes have a hard time delineating work and life since I enjoy my work so much and think of it as a fundamental part of who I am. But this is a good problem to have.

I have also become a bit of an activist, and spent a good chunk of time in 2011-2012 working at the heart of #OccupyWallStreet. We are the 99%!

Interests

When I'm not in a theatre or taking the streets to make the world a better place, I love traveling (my pics right now are almost all from a recent trip to Southeast Asia), cycling, practicing guitar, and mastering technology.
