United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Live Production and Sound Engineer Director with experience leading technical teams and producing worship services and events. Throughout the week and prior to Sunday services, I test lighting, video and sound systems to ensure everything is working correctly.
During testing, I make various adjustments and repairs so we can achieve a seamless production. I also offer suggestions and recommendations to the planning committee to further enhance current systems and productions.
I direct the Technical Arts Team and oversee/produce worship services and events, collaborating with the Worship Planning Team, Worship Arts Director, and the Worship Team. The team includes: Audio Engineer, Lighting Director, Media Operator, Camera Operators, and Video Switcher Operator.
My background also includes troubleshooting, “rigging” trusses and theatrical equipment safely, operating lighting boards, and running feeder cable (Large Power cables). I’m a quick and adaptable learner, and I bring strong leadership, prompt problem solving, and creative production ideas to every production.
