Live Event Production Manager
100
I am a total perfectionist when it comes to running event at the best they can be.
26 bands in 9 hours, 5 minutes over time. That's my record.
I run live events on time.
I do this by consulting with all parties well before the event, and anticipating AVLS (audio,video,lights, sound), guest, and talent needs.
All logistics and redundancies possible. I do not have a "we'll figure it out later" attitude. Why put off until tomorrow what can be done today. There's always more challenges to solve right behind that one.
I have been known to stop a band from going on break to stay on time, and bringing whatever they need right to them. My new customers are always left astonished at how much I try to do.
I am the "5th Beatles" at your event.
That's my rep.
Let me know if you need me.
I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I don't do drugs. Apparently this is rare among my kind, so I'm mentioning it.
Training & Qualifications
I have been a sound and light person my whole life. (I'm 37) I have been working as a Stage and Event production manager full time for about 10 years now. Currently working miracles at Portland Productions for my friend John Klein. When sound persons in Portland can't figure something out, or get a new piece of gear that they need training on, they call me. I'm seriously not bragging. It just happens all the time. When a 60 year old sound tech buddy of mine was running the soundboard for Bill Clinton, he was in trouble because he didn't have all the pieces that the event company was supposed to provide. He called me to help him make it work fast. Over the phone, we spent 5 minutes coming up with a solution. Bill went on on time, and the sound was great. When a venue needs a new system, but they don't want a "salesperson" to help them "customize" their credit card limit, they call for the real life budget conscious solutions. My information and assistance comes without ulterior motives. I also well known for accepting alternative forms of payment like art, food, and service trade. :-) That's why I am here.
