User:Completely gutless

I feel I should create a user page so that anyone who cares can understand my motives (and qualifications) behind any article contributions I make. So, below is a brief CV.

My primary (non-personal) interest is in entertainment lighting (i.e. lighting in theatre, concerts, dance, etc). I also have strong interests in music and computers.

I am originally from Perth, Western Australia but currently reside in Sydney.

I have a strong background in music, having studied it from an early age. I pursue this hobby sporadically on a semi-professional and professional level.

I began working backstage in the theatre in high school - and found myself drawn to the lighting in particular.

Since leaving high school I started a double degree at university in Engineering (Electrical) and Science (Computer Science).

I dropped the Engineering half-way through, and instead picked up a second Science major, graduating a couple years later with a Bachelor of Science (double major in Computer Science and IT Systems).

After completing that, I decided I really did want to pursue theatre professionally (rather than as a hobby as it was up till that point), so I spent three years doing an Advanced Diploma in Stage Lighting.

I then spent about 6 months working in various lighting technician and operator roles around town before moving to Sydney, Australia to work for an entertainment electronics and distribution company called Jands. I have been working at Jands since July 2008 in a kind-of lighting technical sales role.

My entries are not driven by my employer's interests - I write what I'm interested in and I write it honestly. If you feel I am being impartial, please let me know.
