🎛️ Technical Director • 💻 Software Developer • 🎥 Tech & Broadcast Enthusiast
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built a career bridging live production and custom software, helping organizations run smoother, smarter, and more connected. I'm currently Technical Director for a megachurch in the Southeast US, and I build open-source tools and consulting solutions on the side.
- 🎚️ Broadcast + AVL Systems – Building resilient systems for broadcast, event, live video and worship environments
- 🧩 Custom Software – Tools for control, automation, and integrations (Node.js, Electron, Companion modules)
- 🔗 Systems Consulting – Helping teams solve complex tech problems through simple, scalable solutions
- 🧱 ScreenDeck – Custom virtual surfaces for Companion with multi-deck profiles and hotkeys
- 🔴 Tally Arbiter – Universal, networked tally light controller for any production setup
- 🎮 gamepad‑io – Use any game controller as a Bitfocus Companion surface
- 🚀 ScriptLauncher – Helper app for launching scripts and controlling your computer remotely, via REST & sockets
I'm a core contributor to Bitfocus Companion, with over 100 modules authored or maintained.
I also build standalone tools and integrations that connect systems across the broadcast, worship, and tech spaces.
Some featured tools:
- 🎤 Presentation Bridge – Sync text from slides from ProPresenter to the web in real time
- 🎧 Spotify Controller – Control Spotify playback over the network
- 🟡 beacon – Use USB busylights as notification beacons or lights to alert your team you need them
- 🎚️ midi‑relay – Relay MIDI commands over complex networks via WebSocket

“He helped us modernize our workflow across campuses—hardware and software. Highly recommend.”
“Incredible communication and consistent delivery. He just ‘gets’ how production teams think.”
