Ty Macaulay joined On Location in April 2016.

His dedication and strong work ethic had him quickly expand his oversight. A Florida-native, he grew up in the business and would often be found on the trade show floor with his dad at a very young age. Ty was a leader on day one, pitching in and helping to plan shows outside of his area. As a result, he was promoted to East Coast Operations Manager in August 2018 and is currently responsible for cities from New York to Florida and as far west as Chicago.
Born and raised in the Orlando area, Nick Provini joined On Location in January 2017 as a Leadman and traveled nationwide managing crews.

Nick continued to take on more responsibilities and grew into his new role by ensuring customer satisfaction throughout this region. In August 2018, Nick was promoted to Regional Manager-Florida and currently oversees anywhere from 5 to 40 staff members at rotating concurrent shows.

Awarded a 2019 ACE "Rookie of the Year" earlier this year, Goza has been hired as a Floor Manager for On Location based in the Las Vegas area. He will report to Rob Morrison, On Location Regional Manager of Nevada, assisting with the coordination and oversight of labor crews to ensure projects are completed on time and on budget.

A former member of the decorators union in Southern California, the SoCal native moved to Las Vegas in December 2018. "Being part of On Location, I look forward to supporting Rob and the entire team in making sure all clients' needs are met and wants are satisfied," he says. "The company is well-respected - a reputation I'm excited to make even better."

I am thrilled to have him as part of our Las Vegas team," Morrison said. "As for Kim, I have personally worked with her and many of her clients over the years and I know they will quickly recognize the talent and professionalism that On Location offers both here in Las Vegas and nationwide."

"Seeing the positive impact that had on our service, expanding in Las Vegas - one of the busiest trade show cities in the world - makes sense." He goes on to add, "As an organization, we are always looking to add talent. Both Kim and Will have great enthusiasm and share our customer first mindset.
