TMU Director of Events & Production, Producer, and Technical Director | Born in Alaska and raised in Atlanta, Steven grew up on a tour bus. A lighting designer by trade and a musician at heart, he has always been enthralled by the juxtaposition of the technical and the artistic.

In high school, he began working professionally in the production industry where he continued to hone his skills as a production designer and technical director. As a production designer and technical director, he has worked on projects including music videos, film shoots, theatrical shows, and corporate events. In his role at TMU, he continues to follow his passion of bridging the gap between the technical and the artistic to craft unique and meaningful experiences for audiences of all ages.
