I have over ten years of experience as a gaffer, best boy, and set lighting technician in the Utah, Los Angeles, and Atlanta markets. I have worked on commercials, features, music videos, and industrials in both the union and non-union world, on main unit and rigging unit crews.  I have the ability to light independently on smaller projects and to manage sizable crews on larger productions.  I am adaptable: by that, I mean I know both the old gear and the new gear – I am happy to use either.  I am safe, efficient, and have always served as a second set of eyes for my cinematographers to evaluate color, contrast, exposure, and lighting aesthetic.
