SIDE PROJECTS

Pyrotechnician with Fireworks by Grucci

On a whim, I decided to take a class to learn how to shoot off fireworks.  A few years later, I found myself in Dubai breaking the world record for the largest fireworks display ever. I do a few shows each year, and it's incredibly exhilirating each time.

Make Up Artist for the Macy*s Thanksgiving Day Parade

For over a decade, I'm a make-up artist on a team that paints over 800 clowns.  What is now an annual tradition with friends and family, it's pretty amazing to be part of "the largest show on Broadway"

Webcasting

Webcasting is one of those things I never knew people did until I was asked to do it.  As it turns out, I quite like it!

 

I've been working for Talkpoint, to learn about them, click here.

 

PADI Certifications

While diving is only currently recreational for me, It's on my bucket list to be able to work on some of the aquatic shows out there, so I gathered all the certifications necessary.  Currently, I'm an Assistant Instructor (one step past Divemaster) and am DSAT Gas Blender Certified.

 

 

TSOL Certification 

Teach Speakers of Other Languages.  I kept finding myself in situations where I was working with non native English speakers and discovered that I have a knack for shifting my english into usable parts to help them learn.  I enjoyed it so much, I went ahead and got certified. 

 

 

NYC Fire Guard

This card comes in handy more often than you'd think.

 

Additional Skills and Certifications

Forever a student of the world, I enjoy learning new skills and putting them to work.
