About Me
Hello! My name is Ben Howard, I am a student at Western Carolina University studying "Entertainment Design and Technology" and "Business Management."
I have been doing lighting for the past 7 years. Starting with my church and then expanding to high school theater and festivals. After high school I began designing for local community theaters before heading to Western Carolina where I work as a technician for my theater program, as well as a lighting technician/designer for the Bardo Arts Center.
"Work hard at work worth doing."
