Working closely with an electrician and the Church council, I designed and implemented a church lighting system for the stage using dimmable lights with DMX controls.

Designed and launched church website for Southbridge Community Church. Worked closely with church staff to present an easily navigatable homepage as well as custom subpages for each ministry area's needs. Trained staff and volunteers on website maintenance.

Working closely with pastors, worship leaders, and congregation members, I have operated sound systems for Front of House in churches. Most often, I can be found operating for Sunday Worship, but I also assist with Weddings, Funerals, and other special events as the need arises.
I have extensive experience with livestream setup, camera operation, and switching, as well as mixing sound for recording.
At Statesboro First United Methodist Church, I directed the livestream and front-of-house production of live pipe organ concerts. These would include not only video production work, but relaying a video feed of the organist to the congregation for their better viewing behind the console.
These productions sometimes included the addition of a projector, in the case of live silent movie showings, such as Lon Chaney's The Phantom of the Opera (1925).
A digital carillon bell system was installed in the church in the 1980s, but malfunctioned due to lightning strike sometime in the late 1990s. Enthralled with the idea of repairing a unique portion of the church which has an effect on downtown Statesboro, I began researching repairing our digital Carillon system. While the original Maas-Rowe digital carillon was beyond repair, the public address speakers atop the bell tower were still operable.
Featuring live bell recordings, the bell tower is operable to this day- ringing at 9 am, noon, and 5 pm.
Signage is a major part of any building, both for branding and accessibility purposes. One of my tasks at Statesboro First was to create interior and exterior signage for our church.
One project that I pitched was the idea of new customizable numbered door signs for every room in the building. This proved to be an expensive project to outsource, and was subsequently declined by the trustees. Instead of outsourcing the project, I pitched the idea of creating our signage in-house using 3D Printing technology. I have produced over 70 individual signs with removable nameplates for the church.
Not long after beginning work at Statesboro First, the building was struck by lightning, which destroyed parts of the sound system in our Sanctuary.
I was not only able to get a new sound system running within three weeks, I crafted it in such a way as to allow volunteers to have transferable skills between our three internal sound systems and live-stream setup.
I replaced outdated parts with new Behringer and Audinate equipment, while still preserving some unharmed portions of the existing sound system.
Live streaming two of our Sunday worship services (and other events) required a separate office space to do effectively when I arrived. Due to lack of volunteers, staff, and need for space, I redesigned the streaming infrastructure to support live-streaming from within the worship space, using a centralized computer and video encoder and network runs to both our Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall to allow our live streaming operators (often myself) the ability to multi-task both livestream and FOH audio.
While this is not considered optimal by most standards for sound and production ease of use, we found it necessary and useful in our worship production.
