What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead complex creative and technical productions where I can guide crews, manage budgets and logistics, and turn creative direction into reliable delivery.

I've led lighting execution on major film, television, and commercial productions with IATSE, including Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Altered Carbon, and Sonic the Hedgehog.

I supervise crews of up to 30 technicians, manage departmental budgets up to $2M CAD, and bridge producers, directors, cinematographers, and technical teams when schedules and costs are on the line.

Alongside screen production, I produce music, manage tours, and design recording environments—bringing practical studio, acoustic, post-production, and live-performance knowledge to creative work from concept through delivery.
