    Episode 27 - Brian Reed

    Working for Disney, the $130 Billion dollar corporation, certainly has its perks. But your average green horn rigger does not just roll out of bed and start re-rigging a fully functional replica of the first American ship to circumnavigate the globe. There are a few “stops” along the way. In this weeks episode we talk to Brian Reed, stage hand, rigger, and rope access technician who discusses his journey from being an assistant stage manager, working on the Queen Mary two, rigging special FX shows in Las Vegas, and working for ZFX where he learned to fly people. He also gives us a peak behind the vail of the world’s most well-known mega theme park.
