Roy Jackson has been involved with lighting since he was a teenager (many many years ago). He started off in the music industry, travelling across the country with bands as a lighting technician and driver. Around the mid 80's, Roy discovered theatre and after dabbling in every aspect of it he was drawn into lighting design the most. Quickly establishing himself with his unique designs using minimum resources, he became the regular designer for both the Unconcious Collective and the Walterdale Theatre, where he has served many years as the Technical Director. During this time, he was offered a position as Sales Manager for a local lighting supplier - a position that led him to an interest in designing and consulting primarily on lighting and drapery systems for the House of Worship and Education market. After twelve years of selling lighting systems and freelance designing for companies such as Kill Your Television and Northern Light Theatre (for which he won a Sterling Award in 2005), Roy felt ready for a change in environment and happily accepted a job offer from Christie Lites Sales. Roy looks forward to a successful future both in this new phase of his career and with his wife, Jacqueline, and their dog Katy with whom he shares an acreage near a lake 40 minutes northwest of the bustling city. |
