Profile
Kept a 900-seat touring production running through a 14-city run without a single missed cue at Pinnacle Theatrical Productions, coordinating lighting, sound, and rigging across venues with wildly different infrastructure. Five years of hands-on stage work span regional theater, live music, and corporate events, with particular depth in ETC Eos console programming and fly-system operation. Crews consistently clear load-in four hours ahead of first curtain call because the prep work is done before the truck rolls.

- Trained two new hires on ETC Ion console operation and safety lockout procedures, both cleared for independent board operation within six weeks.
- Maintained an inventory of 320 fixtures, tracking lamp replacements, gel stock, and cable repairs through a shared Google Sheets log reviewed weekly by the production office.
Stage Technician, Lakeview Repertory Theatre, Evanston, IL | August 2019 – February 2022
- Operated a 48-line counterweight fly system during eight live productions each season, executing cue-to-cue and full-run calls with zero dropped or early fly cues across two seasons.
- Built and installed scenic elements for 11 productions, including a 20-foot raked platform unit that the carpenter foreman cited as the cleanest finish from an entry-level tech in four years.
- Ran audio for four black-box productions using an Allen & Heath SQ-5 console, mixing live sound for casts of up to 22 performers.
- Assisted the master electrician on a full LED conversion of the main-stage rep plot, replacing 140 tungsten fixtures with ETC Source Four LED Series 2 units and re-addressing the entire DMX universe.
- Coordinated with outside rental vendors for three corporate buyout events, receiving and checking in gear against rider specs and flagging three substitution items before they reached the stage.
- Completed the ETCP-recognized rigging safety course through the Illinois Labor-Management Cooperation Committee, applying load-calculation methods to every fly-system inspection.
Event Production Assistant, Redfield Live Events, Chicago, IL | May 2018 – July 2019
- Supported load-in and strike for roughly 60 corporate and live-music events annually across Chicago venues including the Riviera Theatre and Navy Pier Grand Ballroom.

- Sourced and qualified a replacement EtherCAT motor driver when the original vendor discontinued a part, completing the design swap in six weeks and holding the production schedule.
- Wrote internal documentation covering kinematic model assumptions, tuning procedures, and failure-mode catalogs; the docs now serve as onboarding material for every new controls hire.
- Collaborated with the mechanical and manufacturing teams to define joint tolerance bands in SolidWorks, catching a bearing-preload specification that would have caused premature gearbox wear across the whole fleet.
Robotics Engineer II, Tandem Defense Technologies, Tucson, AZ | July 2018 – February 2021
- Developed a model-predictive controller for a six-degree-of-freedom manipulator arm, reducing end-effector positioning error to 0.8 mm RMS under dynamic load conditions.
