Summary

  1. After 25 successful years in the entertainment industry as a Broadway Local One stagehand specializing in electrics, the sudden coronavirus pandemic has steered me down a different path. While my career is on indefinite hold, I am taking the opportunity to expand my horizons and concentrate on learning the skills needed to jump start a second life in the world of web development.

  2. Having a strong work ethic and being in charge of large crews in conjunction with delegating responsibilities have honed my leadership skills and ingrained in me the importance of teamwork and appreciation of the vast skills needed to form a functioning team unit.
