About me

My research focuses primarily on the use and re-purposing of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf hardware for application in theatre Technology.  This has lead me to work in the "Maker Culture" and an exploration of the internet as a 21st Century Surplus Store.

Lately I have been taken by the book "Shop Class as Soulcraft" by Matthew Crawford.  Get it! Read It!  Feed your inner Gear-Head!
