The circus is the place for me.

About Me


Long story short. I'm a freelance lighting director and videographer based out of Baltimore, Maryland. I work for various clientele so I get to chill at home or travel. I hail from Cumberland a small town in Western Maryland. After earning a bachleors degree in Electronic Media and Film I didn't want to be a 9-5 person right away. So what happened then? Well I decided to run around the country and educate myself in stage lighting over the past 3 years and I plan to continue doing so for a long time. Life has been an interesting ride over the years and there will never be regrets. I'm a hell of a friend and an interesting character to talk to. I know where I'm heading or at least the general direction...Stay tuned =)
"Please Me, Have No Regrets."
.. Create Your Own
His light spreads out and this operation expresses nothing other than the ordered unfolding of His attributes over the non-being. What is called "the possibles" are those things which show themselves capable of receiving that light and those which are called "the impossibles" are those which are unable to receive the light. It is to just this that the Prophet - upon Him be Grace and Peace! - alluded when He said, "Allah created the creatures in the darkness, then He sprinkled them with His light. Those who were touched by some of this light are on the good way; and those who failed to be touched by it are astray."
~Abd al-Kader
