About Me.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Welcome to my website! I am a married father of two and, a member of the Apostolic Church of God living in the Chicagoland area. I’m a lighting control professional by day and a classic car enthusiast by night. I’m passionate about using technology to create beautiful and functional lighting control systems, and I love spending my free time working on my classic cars.

I’ve been working in the lighting industry for over 10 years, and I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including office buildings, theaters, houses of worship, and healthcare facilities. I’m always looking for new ways to use lighting control technology to improve the way we light our spaces.

In my spare time, I love working on my classic cars. I have a 1967 Firebird and a 1969 Corvette that I’m currently rebuilding with the original Chevy 350 engine. I love the challenge of taking something old and making it new again.

I hope you enjoy browsing my website! If you heard the sound, please feel free to contact me using the contact page.
