Default A hearty hello....

As requested I have wended my way here to introduce myself.

I have been a working theater tech since I was 15. With the exception of the odd stint at Kinko's, all of my jobs have been in theater.

I graduated from Chapman University in 1997 with BFA in Technical Theater-Lighting and Set Design.

I then worked my way up to running the Plummer Auditorium in Fullerton, CA. I then spent 6 months running the crew on the Carnival Elation. (Yeah 26 consecutive cruises!!!).

After that I followed my (soon to be) wife to New York where I spent the first year turning ballrooms into tents and tents into ballrooms. After that I worked at the Danny and Sylvia Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College, where I became a member of Local 1.

After 5 years in New York, my wife and I decided to come home to California where we live today.

I currently am employed by a lighting manufacturer....care to guess who?

If there is anything that I can do for people let me know.

Rob.

I'll give you a hint. He's been helping me out a lot.

Welcome to The Booth Rob! We hope you find it educational and entertaining. Get to know the search function there's a lot of gold buried in the archives. Watch out for the people from down under. They are devious and tend to be related to marsupials.
