You’ve probably seen my work, you just don’t know it.

Currently, I work at “a college” where I am responsible for the design, installation, and ongoing support of the campus network. This includes some exciting work involving network automation, rapid deployment, Wi-Fi RF design, and the creation of custom software (and hardware) to suit. It also includes some not-so-exciting work such as keeping legacy equipment running for long enough until it can be replaced.

Before jumping back into the world of academia, I had a fairly successful career working in show biz. For copyright and NDA reasons, I won’t be sharing too much of that here, but let me list a few of the better known acts and clients that I did IT, AV, special effects/robotics, and behind-the-scenes management for:

  • Bloomberg
  • Cirque du Soleil
  • Elton John
  • Kylie Minogue
  • Lady Gaga
  • Madonna
  • Metallica
  • Michael Buble
  • Microsoft
  • MTV
  • Radio City Christmas Spectacular Starring the Rockettes
  • Rihanna
  • Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd)
  • The Black Eyed Peas
  • The Roots
  • U2
  • VH1
  • Zach Galifianakis

The list does go on. I can tell you some stories.

I’ve made things that have been to the International Space Station. Seriously.

A former employer would refer to me as the “rocket surgeon” to our clients.

I also did quite a bit of work in manufacturing. So, I’m quite fluent in CAD/CAM, Laser Engraving/Cutting, 3D Printing, Professional Document Layout and Printing, metalworking, welding, and woodworking.
