I produce things — shows, spaces, songs, and the occasional pedal board — and I like getting them right. For close to a decade now, that's meant running large-scale live events for brands, conferences, and festivals nationwide. Before that, it meant a decade in theater, learning to make something out of nothing on a deadline. While these endeavors pay the bills, I've also added songwriting, 3D-printing odds and ends, and whatever I'm building in the garage this month.

I'm not a specialist, and I've made peace with that. A designer typically picks one discipline — scenic, graphic, audio, lighting — and goes deep. I've dipped into all of them, but I actually excel at cohesively bringing multiple designs to life: pulling the right people together and making a big idea fit the room, the budget, and the deadline. Call it a Renaissance-man approach if you want. I call it the job.
