Hello from omaha, nebraska!!

[CountryBoom87]

New here to this site!! Glad to be here. Ill be looking around for demos and open shoots, or anything pyro. Always had a passion for fireworks, finally got on board with the program. Just completed and got my shooter certificate today!! Just started working for J&M displays and my first shoot will be may 4th, super eager and excited. Will be looking to build my experiance too, so if anyone near me needs a shooter let me know!! Im eager to work, make some money and new friends and most of all have fun!! I have seen all of daves videos on youtube and love them! Thanks dave for all your time and effort you put into those videos and the displays. Have learned a lot from them!!

I like the sound of this guy, he sounds ambitious and he is not afraid to work. The display fireworks business needs lots of help as the July 4th holiday slowly approaches. In the past I heard from new technicians as they start to work displays , some of the experienced crew is surprised when they know so much on their first day in the field. They will ask "Where did you learn how to do all of that?" LOL It sounds like J&M is lucky to have you. Keep us posted on your progress after the May 4th display.

Well, did my first 1.3 show last night. It was all electronicly fired and synced to music for a star wars theme night at the ball park. I must say it was a hell of a time. Being that close and right under the shells when they go off and during the grand finale was exhilarating. Definitly an addiction. I loved setting up too and the countdown to the show. Learned a lot. And the cheers afterwards put chills down my arm. Was a great experience and cant wait to get on the next shoot next week!! Thanks @displayfireworks1, dave, for the videos you do. Like i said, ive seen them all and it helped prep me for my show and helped me know what to expect and how to handle certian situatuons. Also thanks everyone for the kind welcomes, im glad ro finally be a part of this. Has always been my passion and i have finally taken the leap and plan to make my career out of this.
