I get questions about what I’ve done to get where I am today and I figured I’d take some time to explain my path up to today. Please keep in mind that there are many paths to the various careers in the entertainment industry, and mine is not a traditional one. I am still a long way from where I want to be, but hopefully you can find some of this information helpful.

I've seen a lot of successful people talking that they got at their levels without using a "traditional path". But... Uhhh.... What's the "traditional path"? 😂

Wow, this quite changed my view on how long it takes to get somewhere in this industry. I consider my self lucky, because I got job at pretty big conference/vip corporate production company right after highschool. I started as maintenance/servis guy taking care of equipment. Later tried becoming soundengineer..witch went catastrophic. But after one day being followspot operator I fell in love with lights. And within year I become the only lights operator in company. This all in 3 years since I'm out of highschool. In the end it's not exactly what I want to do (I'm more into music lighting) but it's some foundings. But I want to highly agree with Chris on this. Work hard, show what you can do and it will pay off.

That's a really good story. 3 years out and I'd say you're way ahead of where I was. I think it's great that people can really start at any age with all this. You're really only limited by how much time you want to put into it yourself.

Very informative video. I do feel sort a lucky, cause there is a dedicated apprenticeship wich takes 3 years, here in Germany. So you can learn all the basics of event technology in that time , so that you can specialize during that time or afterwards. I quickly was very interested in lighting and started to watch tutorials and of course your videos as well. I quickly had the chance to programm small/medium sized timecodes and gain even more knowledge and experience. I just finished this apprenticeship and applied for a job as FOH operator on a cruiseship. (Had to do a life programming test and explain everything while I was doing that.) And I am super excited right now, because one hour ago I got an email, to inform me that, they not only want me as an operator but they wanna send me to a ship where I have to programm regularly as well. It's a pretty big setup as well. 60Moving Heads, 70Led Stripes and a media server to be triggered. Mindblowing moment of it's best. A dream just came true. Thank you for all the tips, tricks and advises you could give me with your videos. This happened so much earlier than I ever expected.
