I was responsible for the installation of technical equipment & stage reconstruction for the “Starlight Express” production in a marquee at Sydney Showgrounds and as Technical Director of Rose’s Nightclub, I managed sound & lighting effects for ten different shows over a 12-month period. I have a great deal of experience working with creatives within the theatrical and production arena, and a deep understanding of the unique requirements of shipboard and onshore productions. Safety and client engagement always come first, following closely by streamlined productions and extraordinary special effects.Send me a message or add me as a contact – I look forward to connecting with you.
