About me
My implication in the world of pyrotechnics goes back 20 years. I went through all the usual steps in this trade before becoming a show designer for two canadian companies; Royal Pyrotechnics and Garden City Display Fireworks. It is for this company that I designed the show that won the Molson's Great Canadian Fireworks Championship in 2000: A celebration of nations.
Since December 1999, I have also been the designer for all the major shows of Hop Kee Pyrotechnics, from Hong Kong. The first show I was involved with was the Hong Kong Millennium Extravaganza, which was broadcasted across the planet. It is after this show that I was offered the role of pyrotechnics designer for this company, the largest pyrotechnics operator in Asia. This implication with Hop Kee allows me to create each year one of the most prestigious fireworks shows on earth: Chinese New Year over Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong.
I also do many "one-off" projects for different companies, you will find more details in my resume section.
