WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PROJECT FROM THE PAST AND WHY
1) Charlton Heston Anti-Terrorism Campaign – many years ago while functioning as an A2, I spent a day with “Moses” at his estate on Coldwater Canyon. Down to earth and an excellent host – even though he got a little perturbed when I rolled a camera case across his clay tennis court! The man made me a fantastic grilled ham and cheese in his kitchen while telling me about his adventures and experiences. One of those days you don’t forget.
2) U2 Zoo TV Tour – Built and assembled a huge flypack with a very aggressive project schedule, and shipped to Australia for a live Thanksgiving day performance. “one down..one to go…another town, one more show…”
FAVORITE SHOW VENUE
An old missile silo in AZ. Cool location with a lot of very vintage tech!
WHY COWORKERS ARE GREAT
Never ending experience and resources! A fantastic team of people and colleagues. My co-workers all conform to – “do or do not, there is no try”
WORLDSTAGE IN ONE WORD
Superbness!
ACTIVITIES
Tinkering in the garage, playing my six and twelve string, writing screenplays, camping & fishing, and spending time with my children.
WHY DO YOU ENJOY WORKING FOR WS
The revealing of the company’s character and the dedication of my co-workers. What a great band of players! I would go into any battle with my colleagues.
BEST THING ABOUT YOUR CITY
Since I grew up in Nashville, but now live in Denver – I truly appreciate the low humidity of the Colorado summers! I have lived in many major U.S. cities and I am fortunate to have friends and colleagues in each of these cities, so while I love Denver and Colorado, there are pieces of me in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, D.C., New York, Seattle, and Tennessee.
