ENCOMPASS EVENT GROUP - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- CEO / Director of Solutions
My production career began in 1990 as a part-time Engineering Assistant with Advantage Service Group. My responsibilities included design/build of online edit suites, head-end broadcast facilities, and non-linear editing installations.
In 1994, I was transferred within the company to fill the role of Multimedia Designer and was tasked with designing graphic packages for corporate television networks and national association events as well as interactive CD-ROM authoring for Continued Medical Education (CME) credit testing.
I was transferred back to an Engineer role in 1997 and have designed temporary systems used in a wide array of venues; including several NFL stadiums and countless convention facilities.
In 2001, I founded Live-Online Television. While building the company's reputation, I spent three years as a Technical Director for Fox Sports, Altitude Sports & Entertainment and the Denver Broncos. Before leaving the "fame and fortune" associated with broadcast television, I served as the director for numerous Fox Sports broadcasts and trained other Technical Directors around the country using Grass Valley broadcast switchers.
Job Titles:
- COO
- Director of Operations
My career was launched in high school. A church utilized the school's event space and, as an active member of the drama department, I became involved in the technical aspect of their services and events.
After graduation, I started a landscaping company but remained active in audio and lighting. I sold my landscaping company in 2016 to focus on event production full-time and started ACA Productions. My customer-first attitude and attention to detail fueled ACA's growth for several years.
In 2018, I joined Encompass Event Group (through acquisition of ACA). I manage day-to-day operations, process development, inventory oversight, and influence long-term planning. You'll still regularly find me manning a mixer or designing/deploying audio systems on high-profile events.
