My recent position has been working on the road as special fx technician. The past five months I've worked throughout the United States, as well as a few cities in Canada. I spent one month with Parkway Drive, a metal band from Australia, where we had a total of 17 flame units consisting of g-flames, five masters, and wave flames. My next tour was held with rapper Travis Scott, where we had a variety of fx. During this tour my responsibilities evolved from beginning to end. Ultimately I was in charge of making sure all 8 of our pyro boards were pinned accurately and accordingly. As well as making sure all units were operational prior to show.

• Tested & addressed all flame units, as well as making sure all parts were working
• ensuring everything was fueled.
• fixing any cables that could be damaged, from our dmx to our true one cables.
• Allocating all units throughout the stage ensuring the safety of the performers and possible damage to property.
• Clear and thorough communication with your crew, performers, and other departments.

While working with Flynn I assisted with the construction of two major projects, Apple & Facebook data centers. My main focus was ensuring I produced quality work while making sure all deadlines were met. I went through countless training to ensure I was knowledgeable, and certified with all the equipment I was utilizing such has fall restraint training, boom-lift operator, & fork lift operations. Here are a few of my day to day operations.

• Fabricated sheet metal products according to customer specifications and drawings.
• Cut sheets of metal into required shapes using hand tools or powered cutting tools.
• Inspected finished products for conformance to quality standards.
• Dismantled damaged units or equipment for repair or replacement of parts.

Upon starting my position with PatRick I served as as Firefighter 2 (entry level firefighter) & over the years progressed my way up to a Firefighter 1 (squad leader). We performed routine fire suppression duties including: hand line construction, determined strategies & tactics, constructed progressive hose lays throughout the fire perimeter, maintained & repaired specialized equipment, operating chainsaws, conducting burnout/ holding operations, patrolling, & radio communications. I was consulted by other employees for knowledge of all of these tasks. While working here I gained extensive knowledge in both initial & extended attack.

My time working at 18 Bin was short, but very fruitful in the amount of experience I had taken away from the positions I held. Upon receiving my first position as a Barback I learned everything from taking inventory of beverage stocks, bussed tables and ensuring the floor room was well maintained and sanitized. Then as I stepped into my role as a host I began other duties and tasks such as working multiple events in a fast paced setting, maintaining a good relationship between our regular patrons as well as anyone new entering the bin.
