I think the pushups and crunches are really starting to payoff. I feel like a new man! Clearly buckets of #chocolate and #peanutbutterballs for the holidays didn’t slow down my extreme fitness progress. #absofsteelcomingsomeday #maybe #probablynot @amyrae1977

Just received the pictures from @huthphoto for #brightstarsyc @playmakersrep. I don’t love everything I did with the lighting in this show. However, as I look through these photos, I do really love some of the color choices I made here. And, 4 #followspots for the #thruststage really made an impact...especially on the front row ;)

This week we made it official. Cleaned out the shop and closed the doors of jkdesigns,inc for the last time. #bittersweet #memories but it’s time for #change and we had a great 10 year run. I’m pretty excited about what lies ahead.

#miniaturegolf @durhamacademy - 4 days from #design to #build to #installation in the blazing #heat of NC. Most of these kids had never seen the shop tools before. I think they did pretty #awesome!

Anyone curious about what I may be doing “after” jkdesigns. Well, I’ve already been doing it for the last few years @durhamacademy Now I finally get to focus on doing just this for a change. Take a look at some of the cool shows we have done over the last few years. I love this work with teenagers! #setdesign #lightingdesign #teacher

This past weekend jkdesigns sold our FINAL booth/e

This past weekend jkdesigns sold our FINAL booth/event set/exhibit. After this week we will be closing our doors. It’s a bittersweet ending. The show was a great success. My friend @jzeegler with Buck seemed really happy with the results. My amazing production manager over the last 7 years - Dan Rountree, has been unbelievable in every way and carried this company on his shoulders as I was starting to redirect my attention back to my passion in teaching Theatre Design/Technology @durhamacademy
We have had the opportunity to work with incredible clients over the years and work on some really fantastic projects. I posted a few here but you should check out our website to see the rest at www.jkdesigns.com
Thank you to my team over the years - Nathan Ahern, Christina Thibault, David Mallon, Jeffrey Sturtevant, Michael Rountree, Tyler Sturtevant, Chris Ward, and most of all Dan Rountree!

Back in the day my company jkdesigns.com designed

Back in the day my company jkdesigns.com designed and toured along with #millerlite and @kevinhart4real doing a cool comedy tour in search of new #comedy talent. I handled #productiondesign for the tour. He was already a big name but it was right about that time that his #career took off. I love watching his movies now and thinking back to those times when he was just a #strugglingartist 😉
Just kidding - he was far from struggling...#superstar #lightingdesign #setdesign #comedyclub #kevinhart

Aside from the awesome #design of this #tesla and that I have NOT had to buy gas in months - I also get to go out to the car after midnight with my daughter to play #atari and make #fart sounds with the car. Love my #teslamodel3 !!!

Flashback to my days as Design Director with anoth

Flashback to my days as Design Director with another event company (not the adv company in this video) we created the event setup for this AXE tour. I was able to lead the #eventdesign for the two traveling tours that eventually made their way to the #playboy mansion party. Skip to 1:30 in the video for the details on the event itself. https://youtu.be/p3Od9DZFByE

One of my favorite pieces #modern #desk #custom design with aluminum framing, MDF skin, paint and poured #resin - we built two of these. The vendor told us you can’t pour resin on the underside and make it seamless. We decided we would prove them wrong. It took a lot of work and extra time but the results made it all #worthwhile

My baby sister @jaykwelinn is at my parents house today digging through photos. She sent me this great shot of my mom and I back in the early 80’s from Denton Texas. This was a year before she graduated with her PHD in psychology and we headed off to Florida. #memories
