| About You: |
Grip, Lighting Electrical, Experienced working with lighting; tungsten, KinoFlos, and HMIs. Have set up dolly tracks jibs, and small cranes. I am both creative as well as a problem solver. I bring an enthusiasm that does not dissipate during the long hours of a typical production. With years of experience I am confident in my skills and abilities but more importantly I understand rolling up one’s sleeves, going the extra distance, and wearing a variety of hats is what truly get’s the projects accomplished. On smaller productions I’ve taken on the full responsibilities of the gaffer/lighting designer.
