Designing stages and spaces, and the systems that run it.

For the I’ve Got a Fire Tour, I served as Lighting Director and Programmer, developing the complete lighting program for the tour. The design and programming were intentionally crafted to complement the demographics of each market, follow the dynamic shifts and energy of the setlist, and reflect the artist’s preference for warm, natural tones. In addition to lighting, I was responsible for managing screen content, building and deploying the LED video system at each tour stop that required one, and configuring and managing NovaStar processing throughout the tour.

For this event, I collaborated with the event producer to develop lighting programming that supported the flow and creative direction of the show. Blending elements of a traditional corporate presentation with moments of theatrical performance, the lighting evolved alongside the program to create distinct looks for each part of the experience. Special effects, including confetti, were integrated into key moments to enhance the energy and visual impact of the show.

This corporate event celebrated the employees and achievements of local Christian Brothers franchises. The lighting direction focused on supporting the communicators and presentation content while creating a polished and engaging environment throughout the event.

This corporate event brought together franchise owners from Christian Brothers Automotive for an experience centered around highly produced presentations and engaging visual content. The elaborate presentation design called for dynamic lighting that complemented the on-screen visuals, reinforced key moments, and enhanced each communicator’s presence on stage. Following the main program, we transformed the space for an after-party, shifting the lighting design to create an energetic dance environment and a completely different atmosphere for the evening.

For Passion City Church’s Easter gatherings, I served as the Lighting Programmer and Director for one of the church’s locations, creating and executing lighting that supported the creative vision of the experience. I also assisted with the production load-in across all three Atlanta locations, supporting the lighting infrastructure and deployment of more than 200 Astera Titan Tubes. In preparation for Easter, I built and configured the lighting showfiles for all three locations to support their new set designs and ensure consistency across each environment.

This event marked a product launch for Wealth.com and featured a dynamic stage design that positioned communicators across multiple areas of the space. My lighting approach focused on maintaining consistent, flattering key light at each presentation position while using intentional backlighting to create depth and separation between the presenters and surrounding content surfaces. The result supported both the visual experience in the room and the overall presentation of the brand.

WinShape Camps is a faith-based summer camp organization serving youth through traveling day camps hosted by local churches. The Host Rally equips those churches with the training and resources needed to successfully host a WinShape camp. Structured similarly to a live church experience, the event incorporated worship music followed by teaching and presentations. I collaborated closely with the WinShape team to translate their creative vision into the lighting environment, ensuring the appropriate colors, fixture positions, and background looks were established for each part of the program.

Chick-fil-A’s Annual Planning Meeting brings together Home Office staff to preview upcoming product launches and align around the brand’s goals for the year ahead. During the event, I was responsible for creating and managing a variety of presentation layouts and picture-in-picture compositions tailored to each communicator and segment. I also managed all video playback throughout the event, ensuring content was delivered seamlessly and integrated with the overall visual experience.

This fundraising event brought together live music, communicators, and a raffle to raise awareness and support for ALS. I developed distinct lighting looks for each element of the program, using the client-provided visual content as a foundation for the overall design. For musical performances, I used directional side key light to create a more dramatic, shadowed look on camera. During hosting and presentation segments, I transitioned to soft, flat, and even key light, creating a polished, broadcast-inspired look. This approach allowed the lighting to shift with the tone of the program while maintaining a cohesive visual experience throughout the event.

As Utility Programmer, I supported the production designer and programming team across multiple areas of the show. My primary responsibility was programming the audience bracelets for the main performance, while also handling all lighting programming for the opening act. I managed the import and integration of timecode and CuePoints, aligning lighting, video, and bracelet sequences to ensure precise synchronization across departments. Throughout programming and rehearsals, I built custom macros to streamline workflows for the designer and other programmers, assisted with additional programming needs as they arose, and maintained a clean, organized showfile for efficient programming and show execution.

As a Lighting Director, I oversee the lighting environment for a location’s main auditorium during weekly gatherings, including programming and operating lighting for both worship and message elements. I also manage Disguise cueing and triggers for LED background content, helping maintain synchronization between lighting and visual elements throughout each gathering. Beyond weekly programming, I support larger technical and production initiatives across the organization. This has included assisting with the transition of main auditoriums and classrooms from grandMA2 to grandMA3, leading various lighting and systems projects, and supporting production load-ins and infrastructure changes during new set installations.
