Technical Director · Production Lead · AVL Engineer
The audience never sees the rig.
They only feel what it makes possible.
Seven years. Five hundred shows. One standard: the show holds.
I'm a Technical Director and AVL Engineer in Los Angeles, working across audio, lighting, video, and Dante networking. At the Saban Theatre, one of LA's historic performing arts venues, I support touring productions, corporate programs, and live performances with serious production demands.
My work lives between engineering, logistics, and show execution: systems planned clearly, advanced properly, and ready when the house goes dark. Technical direction isn't really about the equipment. It's about making the process smoother for the artists, clients, and crews who depend on it. When the show goes live, the goal is simple: keep it clean, keep it calm, and make sure the work holds.
Professional production work across live entertainment, awards shows, corporate events, concerts, and movie premieres, spanning technical direction, lighting, audio, and show execution.
