Summary
The Forum Theater has been my second home for 30 years. I've learned and grown on the job site. I have worked on every type of show from professional to novice, from a single comedian to musicals with 50+ performers and a full orchestra. Local productions to Headliners. I have worn many hats, going from a Stage Worker, to lead Sound Technician, to Technical Director as well as filling in positions when needed.
I've become efficient at advancing shows and working with outside clients to help make their vision a reality.
I work well with new challenges. In my time, I have dealt with all kinds of issues from minor to major, and worked on finding the best way to resolve the problem. I like efficiency as well as quality.
I continue to excel at what I do, and I believe I can continue to be an integral part of our organization.
