Meet The Team

Mark has been decorating for most of his adult life. He and his wife Tracy, founded Woodinville Wonderland which was a mainstay in the Seattle area for almost 2 decades. He, along with decorating crazy Kevin Thomas have been the main brain trust behind PacNW CLAP since Bill Foley kick off the group. Mark has also been part of Christmas Expo as a Teacher, Education and Steering Committee member. Presently living in the Lake Chelan area, he is looking forward to working with the wineries and Manson at Christmas when he retires in a few years.   

Daryl lives in Vancouver, Wa. and has the PACNW first fully solar powered display (Christmas lights on 96th Street.) He and his wife Jennifer started in 2011 doing Light-O-Rama AC lights and now are 100% pixels. Daryl has presented over the years and works as an IT Administrator supporting hardware and software solutions.

Nick's experience in holiday lighting started in 2014 with just 60 pixels placed inside 12 handmade wooden stars. Our show has grown to over 55k pixels and moved to commercial property. I have incorporated moving heads, cold spark machines and even laser projectors into our show. I do all my own sequencing of songs in Vixen. Our show is Nelson Family Lights, in Cashmere Washington. in 2025 we had an estimated 10k viewers to our Halloween and Christmas shows combined.

Bio:  I live in West Richland, Washington, with my wife of 39 years. Together, we have three daughters and two grandsons. In 2018, inspired by online videos, I began synchronizing my Christmas lights using pixels. What started as a small project quickly grew year after year. I can now safely say I’m addicted—and I need help. CLAP is my therapy.

As the show continued to grow, people began asking how I did it. In response, I started a YouTube channel to help others get started in this hobby. Over the past six years, our light show has raised more than $25,000 for Mikey’s Chance, a local dog rescue organization.
