About me
Patrick is the lighting manager for Cirque du Soleil's Resident Show Division. Originally from North Carolina, he started his journey into lighting while on tour with Up with People in 2000. After earning his degree, he bounced around cruise ships and theme parks for a few years. Then in 2007, he started with Cirque du Soleil as a lighting technician on tour with Corteo. Two years later he took a promotion to assistant head of lighting on Ovo and later was promoted to head of lighting on the same tour. After three and half years on Ovo, he moved to Las Vegas to take over the head of lighting duties at BeLIEve, then "O." After a brief stint as technical manager at Zumanity, he was promoted to his current role. This position allows him to work with all of the resident shows by the way of projects and new builds. In his free time, Patrick enjoys spending time with his family, travelling, and smoking meats.
