Board & Program Leads
Technical Director
Noah oversees the technical operations behind Pride in Dallas, including registration for parade entries, vendors, and volunteers. He also works on the posters, banners, and operational maps for the event. His love of organization has earned him the unofficial title of "Spreadsheet Director," and when something needs to be built, fixed, or swapped, he is the one who solves it.
Outside of Pride in Dallas, Noah volunteers with the State Fair of Texas Parade, the Dallas Veterans Day Parade, CSMA Wine Walk, Solid Ground Ministry, and the North Texas Irish Festival.
Professionally, Noah works in event production as a concert lighting designer and programmer, and has worked internationally in North America, Europe, and Asia. He uses that production background to help Pride in Dallas operate smoothly. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from Texas State University in 2018.
