Audio, Video, and Show Control Systems Designer (as well as assisting the Interactives department). Scope was done under the direction of Colbert Davis, Daniel Bae, Mike Brister, and Thadeus Reed. Involvement for the venue was from the beginning of its Schematic Design through the end of its Detailed Design. Patricia Cardona took over for me after DD and carried the AVC scope through production and into opening.
