I am an IATSE journeyman. I work concerts and Broadway productions. I have worked  for hundreds of bands and music artists. I also do pyrotechnics and special f/x. i love music and could not imagine doing anything else. I love my job and my union. I get involved in my community helping people who are less fortunate. I try to get things for low income families so that they can have things for their children, like backpacks and books and art materials.. It is so important for kids to have access to these things .I also help my local animal community by doing  donation drives at the theatre I work at. The drive is for the local pet shelters. Helping out with blankets,food, toys, leashes, beds , anything that can be useful for the animal shelters. I always encourage kids to listen to music and learn about different types of music and of course I always try to get them started collecting vinyl records. Another project I enjoy is putting together tackle boxes and fishing poles for children and older folks that I see down at the parks wanting to fish . I wanna make sure everyone gets a chance to enjoy fishing and there are so many families who cannot afford it so I go to garage and estate sales and collect the stuff and make up the boxes and poles for people and take them down to the park. I love to see the smiles on people's faces when I give them their gear. My favorite thing to do is help others and make people smile and realize that there are good people in this world who care for them .
