At 9, pretending to be James Bond, I shimmied across a rope tied between Grandpa’s trees. In my late teens I took a break from international espionage to start rockclimbing. Rocks lead to mountains. Alpine climbing is the crucible that forged my life’s values. My 20’s were mostly climbing with college and structural steel mixed in.
Then I moved to Vegas. I can vividly remember being told to learn to draft with AutoCAD before I knew what “FOH” was. I was dumb enough to do that. I also pulled more than my fair share of points on the Strip. Grinding up from being an extra, to a climbing rigger, to the lead local, to the last guy on the production call, to the 2nd guy on the production call, to making the calls, to running Alpine is truly a grand voyage. I’m privileged to be surrounded by those in my orbit.
The only tricks I know are be truthful, stay resolute, have a plan with 3 backups… and strive on with diligence. Having lived and loved rigging for a majority of my life it’s gravitas humbles me everyday. A student of the craft I will forever be. If you’ve taken the time to read this…cheers.
