Hello! It’s time for my obligatory first-post, even if it’s slightly overdue. As Matt mentioned a few posts ago, he and I have joined forces, and I’m super excited about what we’re working on. Here’s just a bit about me and where I’ve come from:

Lighting is a passion for me. I grew up in a family of musicians, artists, and theatre folks who loved to use their talents in the local church. I began my lighting education at my local church, where the lighting designer graciously allowed me to empty trash and sit over his shoulder for a long time – asking questions and soaking up as much about how to work with people as how to light the space.

Fast forward 20+ years, add in a degree in lighting design, tons of practical experience and a great friend and you end up here -  Matt, me, and this Bargeheights endeavor. I love to see the local church guys have ‘aha’ moments when the art and the technology all come together to make something amazing.

More to come…
