Tim Franklin
Graduated from Virginia Tech with degrees in building construction and civil engineering. After graduation, Tim joined TOMCAT, USA, a frontrunner in aluminum fabrication serving the entertainment industry. Tim then joined Stagecraft, a set construction company. Wanting a broader and more technical experience, Tim joined Geiger Engineers where he grew to become an Associate. Working at Geiger allowed Tim to combine his knowledge of the demands of the challenging entertainment industry with his growing technical knowledge. Seeking a change of venue, Theta Consulting was formed.
Krista Schnitzler
Joined Theta in 2009 with a background in marketing and operations. After working in the insurance industry and the corporate world, she was ready to actually see what she was contributing to. Managing the business side has proven to be an ever-changing puzzle with new opportunities at every turn. Never one to enjoy physics and formulas in her spare time, she has come to appreciate the art of engineering design.
Noah George
A Technical Director turned CAD Designer who joined Theta in 2024. After finding love for CAD in college he worked as a TD and Carpenter in several shops on the east coast of the US. Eventually settling in Charleston, SC and working for a scene shop as a CAD Designer. There he developed skills in technical design for theatre and similar creative endeavors. He hopes to learn more about engineering and the entertainment industry and is a great addition to the team.
Theta’s staff is rounded out with English Bulldogs who are passionate about the supervision of the owners. MoGo, senior associate, has proven to be very adept with product testing and destruction. Stilton, the newest associate, is energetic and client focused – providing a warm reception for all. They all look forward to working with clients’ new challenges.
Theta has been fortunate to have had several associates contribute to the firm who have since moved on. Edison, the original mainecoon associate, had been with the Tim since his days in Texas and was intimately involved in all Tim’s years of experience. Boutros, the original bulldog associate, started with Tim when the firm began in 2003, bringing his seven years of experience to the table. Thatcher grew up in the firm and dedicated his 15 years to keeping the owners out of trouble. Pelham also grew up in the firm and spent his days trying to get the owners into trouble.
