Roundtable Productions, LLC is a custom fabrication shop for the film and entertainment industry. We design and fabricate Props, Sets, Special Effects, Custom builds, and Activations. While we are focused heavily in Themed Attractions and events, we are experienced in Film, Television, Digital Media, Photo Shoots, Live Events, Corporate Events, Prototype and Toy Design, and much more.

Trained and worked in a Maintenance unit. Specializing in Machinist duties but, also working on vehicle maintenance, equipment inventory, and personnel training in weapons operation, land navigation, and first aid techniques.

Spent a year training to become an Army Officer. Focus of the training was on unit leadership, operation in high stress situations, effective management of materials, time, and manpower, physical and mental endurance, and personnel training techniques. Resigned commission due to private sector job conflicts yet remained in the service as enlisted soldier.

Project Managed a number of high profile projects requiring crew management, client relations, design and planning, fabrication management, installation and site management, and materials ordering. Also worked as a fabricator principally as a carpenter, but also providing metal fabrication, scenic fabrication, and scenic painting.

Worked on numerous Film and TV productions, Live events, scenic arts projects, and entertainment related jobs. Applied my skills with creative problem solving to provide value to everyone that hired me.

Worked as a Special Effects technician, Props Master, Props and Special Effects Fabricator, Project Manager, and much more.

I am looking to expand my skills as a storyteller and hope to "graduate with a deeper knowledge of theatre theory, history and practice and be able to apply critical thinking through research and creative work." A majority of my coursework is focused on themed and immersive experiences as a branch of theatrical arts. Immersive experiences created outside the bounds of a traditional theater stage are my greatest area of interest.

Left the program early to pursue Theatre MA because the program is not ready for the industry. I was excited to be a part of this new program of study in an industry that I have devoted much of my life's work to. It is my sad opinion that this program is not ready at this time to successfully serve it's students. I choose to leave, hoping it will be better in the future. With better leadership the potential is there. Given the wealth of talent in the area, it's proximity to the largest themed entertainment locations in the world, and the ever increasing size of the attractions industry it could evolve. Much like any art, you never make a masterpiece on the first try. UCF just needs to keep trying.

In my final year I led two teams of engineers to create two separate design projects: an Animatronic Character, and a piece of stunt equipment called an Air Ram.

Studied a well rounded approach to studying different forms of storytelling and theatre history, while spending great amounts of time in the scene shop.

Earned an AA while focusing my studies on the technical aspects of film making and theatre design and fabrication.
