He found a love of storytelling attending high school. Live theatre opened a new part of his imagination. Light was the catalyst. Light communicated in a way no other medium had before. Now exposed to a new art form, and a medium within, he gradually focused his life on one goal: storytelling. The power of storytelling over the course of human history mesmerized him. Designing in high school motivated him to go to and graduate from The University of North Carolina School of the Arts. After his graduation, his was equipped to spend a lifetime of observation, storytelling, collaboration, and hard work. Live theatre, devised works, concerts, tours, workshops, and retail; no style of work disappointed. Focussing on his craft of designing, he quickly realized his true passion was tangential. The role of the lighting programmer fascinated and excited him. The perfect crossroads of storytelling, preparation, and collaboration. Passion and fulfillment was redefined. Brendan now attempts to redefine and raise the bar every project he works on. A handful of lights or several trucks of high parameter lights, scale doesn’t limit ability, imagination or problem solving.

The unique relationship that we have with technology in the entertainment industry intrigues and challenges him. Seeing technology used to motivate and realize designs, push storytelling, and captivate people, drives Brendan to be the best. Every project, everything is given. Alongside technology, collaboration and a healthy work environment are pivotal in his process. Time and time again, he sees the power of mature professionalism, teamwork, and collaboration. These traits hone the technical skills of programming and inform choices both menial and paramount.
