I'm primarily a lighting designer, as far as designing goes. Although I did a few sound and set designs in college, my educational emphasis and fascination was with lighting. I've been doing lighting designs regularly for a few years now, but the job that puts food on my table is shop foreman at the Omaha Community Playhouse. I'm also teaching a general stage lighting class this trimester for the local community college. I became a shop foreman in part for the job security, but honestly I love doing a wide variety of things and don't like feeling stagnant. In the past six months I've designed lights for a small concert, several musicals and plays, carved & built a huge pair of Groucho glasses, designed two methods for "magically" knocking books off of a shelf, flown an actor with our own motorized rig, and taught apprentices of high-school and early college age innumerable theatre skills. In short, I've had fun!
