he/him
Grey is a lighting programmer and designer focused in live music and stage production. Ever since discovering lighting design through local theater productions in his Colorado hometown, he's been constantly curious about how to create new and innovative approaches to not just design, but console programming and creative development.
Attending college at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Grey saw a big disparity in folks wanting to pursue design positions fully or pursue technician positions fully. There weren't people wanting to bridge the gap between design and electrical arts, and Grey wanted to be one of the few to connect both sides of a career in lighting. Learning how to be programmer, Grey was able to start down the path of using technical experience over equipment and control systems to better construct his approach to design and problem-solving. He's always been someone to engage with both creative and logical ideas and continues that in the way he approaches light.

Outside of his career, Grey is often hiking, creating music, and playing board games with his partner, Kat. He's also always on the hunt for the next best spot in LA to go for all-star cocktail experiences. (If you have a bar recommendation, send it his way!)
