Hi! This is the page where I tell you who I am and what I'm all about. My name is Sean Beach, and I generally like to refer to myself as a "Lighting Enthusiast" but I've got my fingers in a handful of different pies. On a given day, I'm in either in some New York theatre working on the lighting, out taking photos of something, sitting in my office designing websites, coding websites, or writing desktop software. I like to keep busy, and I have a lot of expensive hobbies, I have an ongoing project where I'm building a robotic dragon.

I've worked professionally as a Lighting Designer, Assistant Lighting Designer, and Programmer on a wide variety of shows, ranging from dance, dramas, and musicals to corporate events. I have a BFA in lighting design from the North Carolina School of the Arts, in Winston-Salem, NC.

I'm passionate about technology, and consume user manuals for weird, complicated, and archaic gear at an alarming speed. I'm neurotic about standards based website design. Validate this page's XHTML here.

I write cross-platform computer software and program interactive website applications for fun, but you can hire me to do it too. At one point I was CCNA certified by Cisco and can program in C, REALbasic, PERL, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML/XHTML, and CSS. I'm moderately adept at C++ and ObjC (Cocoa for us mac users).

I also enjoy photography, I've volunteered as an EMT since 2005, my favorite icecream is Coldstone Cookie-Doughn't-You-Want-Some, long walks on the beach give me blisters on my big toes, and I can't juggle.
