Head of Musical Instrument Tech Department
I maintain, tune, and build all instruments in the Las Vegas production of Blue Man Group.
My typical day involves music, instruments, vintage amplifiers, drums, drums, and more drums. I spend some time scheduling crew, purchasing consumables, maintaining vendor relations, coordinating with other departments, and generally supporting the instrument side of the production. I don't get as hands-on as I once did but am still actively involved with the instrument tech side of things. I mainly oversee my very talented crew of techs and make sure that shows happen every night.
Here's the first step for everyone
Be conscious of how you represent yourself and always live up to what you say you are going to do. Your reputation definitely proceeds you. If you build good relationships, that opens doors and they continue to open as you move along your path.
