Relocating To Flagstaff From Long Beach
Summary
The scope of my responsibilities as an on-set prop master for the past 23 years was vast. From being the face and voice of the property department, and intermediary between my department and the actors and directors, to design and fabrication, and to leadership and management of team members, there is not much useful professional experience that I did not glean. While the application of this knowledge and these skills may not seem readily transferable to work outside of the film industry, I'm confident that there is no job in the non-technical sector in which I would not shine. Below are just a sampling of the well over 25 projects I've been involved in over the years, with my contributions for all listed under only the first.
