I mostly just work at the Rose Garden Arena now.
Festivals can be fun but they are way too stressful.
The I.A.T.S.E. Local 28 has given me far better working conditions than I got while employed by Fuller productions. The Rolling Stones, Rush, Elton John, Spice Girls, Janet Jackson, Beastie Boys, Styx, Pat Benatar, Van Halen, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Boys to Men, Stevie Nicks, Wide Spread Panic, Queensryche, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Tool, Puff Daddy, ZZ Top, and so many more. In 1997, I was the stage manager of The Rose Festival Showcase of Floats. I was the production manager and stage manager of the Taste of Beaverton, where we had such artists as Lou Rawls, Dave Mason, and many more nationally known performers. Next was The Waterfront Blues Festival at which I was the production manager of and also the South stage manager where many artist were filmed and aired on the local cable access channel.
