From: Keller, Texas
In the industry: Almost 3 and a half years
Favorite thing about this industry: This is typically the answer, but seeing the finished product. The scale of the shows we do is amazing and knowing the process it took to get there is even better.
Favorite Musician: It’s a tie between Razihel and Vexare.
Coolest Place You’ve Ever Been: I don’t travel a lot, but probably Pikes Peak. The drive up was amazing and the view from the top is beautiful.
Favorite Book: Anything by Rick Riordan.
Hobbies Include: Anything that has wheels and a motor. Talking about it, working on it, learning more about it. Riding bikes. In the past, BMX, but most recently, mountain biking. Coding.
Inspired by: People who have done well in my areas of interest. They make me want to do my best and accomplish the things they have accomplished.
From: I was born in Albuquerque, NM and raised in Jacksonville, FL.
In the industry: 6 years
Favorite thing about this industry: I love diagnostics and improvisation. There’s always a pre-existing structure and then all the changes require A/V technicians to think on their feet really quickly.
Favorite Musician: I really like African diaspora as a generality. I like a lot of roots Reggae, Church gospel, Jazz, Cuban Son and Timba, Dominican Merengue, and traditional West African music (Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast). I really love the rhythmic complexity of these genres.
Hobbies Include: Music, Cycling, Backpacking, and Coffee and Herbs
Inspired by: Seeing people act from a compassionate place. When I see people working really hard, finding ways to be efficient, and putting others in a position to be successful, it forces me to think of ways in which I might do the same. I really feel most comfortable when I engage in that sort of behavior and I really like it when the role models in my vicinity push me in that direction.
