Summary
I have recently worked major loading and unloading hauls at stagehand events such as MetLife concerts featuring Travis Scott, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift etc. I have experience in working with a team to handle extremely heavy and expensive stage equipment, in a timely manor. I have travelled to many events in huge venues such as Metlife stadium, Prudential Center, New york city outdoor arenas, Yankee stadium, Secaucus expo center, Brooklyn harbor warehouses, multiple times each. I am fully prepared for long hardworking hours well over 10 hours straight. I am used to on call overtime on short notice. I always make myself fully available and ready for work.
