Welcome to my Online Portfolio. I'm currently the Shop Foreman at N.D.S.U. and Head Projectionist at the Fargo Theatre. I recently graduated from North Dakota State University with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Theatre Arts and Classical Languages. What my résumé does not show is my calm demeanor. I can weather unpredictable occasions without losing my head. I can learn and develop new procedures rapidly. I approach problems creatively to find solutions. In my thesis project for Theatre Arts, I acted as Technical Director for the production of The Cherry Orchard. As Technical Director, I developed schedules for the shop crews to build scenery as well as manage the budget for materials. I worked with the Scenic Designer to realize her vision of the scenery. I coordinated with the Lighting Designer to plan use of the stage and equipment. That thesis project honed my skills for management and leadership. In addition, as a member of United States Institute of Theatre Technology, I have access to information concerning the newest safety procedures and stage technologies.
