Self-employed

• Theatre Design and Production (part-time)

  • 2001 - Present

  I do set and lighting design, stage and production management, and technical direction for shows from high school groups to independent professional productions. As a designer, I use light, shadow, and space to help the director tell the playwright’s story – whether it’s the story of a Scottish king slowly descending into madness, or idealistic students singing about freedom in post-Revolutionary France, or just two young people baring their souls in the frozen wilderness. As a stage manager, production manager, and technical director, I keep the production on course. I schedule the rehearsals; coordinate the logistical needs of the director, actors, and the production; and I fill in pretty much where I’m needed. Essentially, I’m the guy that everyone else relies on to get the thing done – and the guy who makes sure it does get done. It takes a lot of communication, and a lot of organization, to keep all the parts moving smoothly. And I do all of this under tight deadlines and tighter budgets.

I did the product photography and photo editing for new products added to the site and marketing materials, and I strove to create visuals that are dynamic and engaging. I also had a hand in writing the copy, designing and building the email campaigns, and maintaining the store's overall online presence including social media and SEO concerns.

InField Scientific

• Pointe-Claire, Quebec

• Administrative Coordinator, Technical Analyst, Security Officer

  • Jun 2009 - Jan 2016

  I had quite a lot to do in this small team. I applied my project management skills, developed over the course of my theatre career, to large-scale engineering projects like the interoperability of antenna systems aboard navy vessels, and reworking the navy’s manual for shipboard electromagnetic compatibility. I was given the lead in revising and updating the procedures for shipboard testing of electromagnetic systems and producing the actual test plans. I was part of the team that went to sea to conduct those tests, where I was responsible for recording the test data, and compiling the final reports. Show less



Thermal-Lube Inc.

• Canada
• Chemical Manufacturing
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Director of Operations, Production, and Purchasing

  • Jun 2012 - May 2013

  Having proven myself in quality management, I was trusted to take over supervision of production and operations. I took on the added responsibility of purchasing, in coordination with the sales department in order to effectively schedule production and shipping.As part of this new job (and continuing from my old ones), I also leveraged my insight into process control and recordkeeping and worked with our software engineer to help develop a customized inventory control system. Thanks in large part to my input, we were able to track everything from incoming batches of raw materials, though the manufacturing process, all the way up to the finished goods delivered to the customer. This allowed for much greater and more accurate traceability. Show less

• Quality Assurance Manager

  • Jun 2010 - May 2013

  My work designing the new filing system made me familiar with much of the company’s operations and procedures, so it was a smooth transition for me when I took over as Quality Assurance Manager, in charge of the company’s ISO 9001 quality management system (QMS). At the same time, I took over production quality control and became involved in research and development. I reviewed and modernized the QMS, eliminated needless duplication and improved recordkeeping. In the three years under my supervision, the company achieved perfect scores on the annual external quality audits to maintain our ISO 9001 certification.As I was working on updating the various documents and materials, it quickly began to notice some problems. We were a small team and everyone else was busy actually making the company work, so clerical work was a secondary concern. Everyone had their own filing systems with no consistency between them. The problem was, files would get lost, updates wouldn’t be tracked, people would work from different iterations of the same information, things like that. So I created a new system, the lynchpin of which was an HTML “portal” so that anything anyone needed could be accessed from a single interface. Show less

• Communications and Documentation Manager

  • May 2008 - May 2013

  When I was first brought in to the family business, I wanted to prove my worth. I wasn’t a chemist or engineer or salesman, but I did know how to get things done. I started by consolidating all of the company’s graphics and publications with a new, consistent look – packaging labels, technical datasheets, and assorted marketing materials. I then learned HTML and built a new, customer-focused website. I also became responsible for writing and editing various technical documents, including Operator’s Manuals for the analytical systems we designed. I was able to explain the technical processes in plain language, and present it in a digestible format. Show less



Bialik High School

• Set & Lighting Designer, Stage & Production Manager, Technical Director

  • 2001 - 2008

  I designed and built the sets, designed the lights, oversaw all the technical elements, and stage managed the main school plays each year. I also lent my creative and technical expertise to other school events when I could, and advised teachers and students on various other co-curricular projects outside the traditional classroom. Even if it wasn’t in a formal teaching capacity, it was intensely rewarding to be involved in the students’ education and growth.
