  Since 2002 I was promoted to a Production Tech II Lighting. In this position I have been a Shift Leader, Lighting Designer, Programmer, Lighting Coordinator, Lighting Consultant and a Lighting Supervisor. I have for the last 10 years organized the lighting for our entertainment venues, Special Park Wide Events, Hotel Events. I frequently have to organize the lighting warehouse. From our tools to our lighting gear. I am also in-charge of hiring our lighting technicians for our Halloween Haunt. I manage the hours and schedules for the lighting staff. I work with a budget to help provide the necessary gear for the year's events, from gel to light boards. Coordinate with Lighting Designers and Master Electricians for successful lighting installs during our events or shows. During my supervision for lighting Knott's Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt won a THEA award. Without the lighting staff I could not do any of this. Because of my working relationship with my co-workers I can easily assign projects based on their speed and skills. We speak to each other as equals. This is what is needed get the job done. I do however have to discipline the crew at times but I do this in a discrete manner. At times I do address the whole staff so that they can depend on each to correct or adhere to any safety issues. When I first started in 1997 I worked as a Day Operations Tech I in which I ran the daily operations of show in our entertainment venues. Saloon Show, Wagon Camp Show, Camp Snoopy Show, Indian Trails Show, Ice Shows, Special Events and Rental Shows.I worked as an Master Electrician, Spot Op, Electrician, Programmer, Stage Manager, Assistant Stage Manager and Deck Crew Show less
