About

Lighting designer and church production leader from Birmingham, Alabama. I grew up in church production and currently serve as Production Lead for family ministries at Faith Chapel, after two years as their Lead Lighting Designer. I oversee AV, lighting, and weekly logistics across multiple simultaneous services.

Since 2022 I’ve freelanced as a lighting designer for events nationwide, working with artists like Snoop Dogg, Big & Rich, NF, Mac McAnally, and The Black Jacket Symphony. I’m comfortable walking into unfamiliar rooms, solving problems fast, and delivering under pressure.

I also founded and ran an event production company and a performing arts nonprofit, so I understand the planning, budgeting, and people side of production, not just the tech. I’m looking to come off the road and invest long-term in a church production team.
