Community theatre built my production instincts — tight timing, clean handoffs, and respect for every detail most people never notice until it goes wrong.
Regional audio touring and museum work at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library expanded that foundation. The lesson from those years was simple: protect the audience experience while adapting to real technical constraints in rooms that never behave exactly like rehearsal.
In 2014 I moved to Key West and joined PSAV, where I worked across hotels and conference venues from Event Technology Specialist up through Director of Event Technology. That progression taught me how production looks from the vendor side — the realities of labor calls, gear logistics, and making technical promises you actually have to deliver. After PSAV I joined eventPower, first as a Technology Coordinator and then as a Production Manager. That role changed my perspective entirely. I was no longer just executing — I was sitting alongside clients, shaping their programs, and acting as the client myself when engaging our production partners. I learned what it feels like to be on the other side of the quote, the advance call, and the load-in schedule. That shift from technician to client advocate is what I carry into every project today at Sightline Productions.
When I am not on site, you will probably find me outside — exploring local trails, spending time with family and friends in Indiana, or planning the next adventure. "Adventure is out there" has been the motto for a while now, and it still fits how I approach both the work and everything around it.
