Objective: To expand my knowledge and grow with a company for years to come

Qualifications Summary: During my 5 years working in the stage production industry, I have quickly learned many facets of the business, beginning with stagehand to becoming a rigger and equipment operator. I have lighting/rigging warehouse work experience. In addition, I also have experience as a production assistant for live nation which requires me to adapt to any situation that may present itself and handle it as effective and efficiently as possible. I have the most experience with boom lifts and lull forklifts but have driven them in many different environments and on many different surfaces. My focus is rigging and setting points for the motors used to hoist all equipment during a performance and making sure all equipment is secured properly. I am more proficient in arena, tower, and corporate rigging with a hand full of experience with crane and automation rigging with winches. I am proficient with power tools and have rigged structures for companies such as Amazon, NFL, Direct TV, Live Nation, Insomniac and many others through James Thomas Prod.
