I received my Associates Degree in Applied Science's & Video Production in 1992 from Video Technical Institute in Long Beach CA. I then started my carrier in the Audio and Video entertainment business with AVHQ in Palm Springs California. I got married and welcomed my first child in 1994 and then made the big move to Las Vegas with my new family. My first job in Las Vegas was for GES Expo Company. I learned a lot about Audio and Video equipment set up as well as Expo booth set ups. I was 1 of 4 technicians to be hired by Encore Productions a new production company in the late 90's, which now has been bought by PSAV. During this time, I also worked at Ch21 KUPN in their Master Control Room where I learned how a TV Station ran and about marketing. From 1995 - 2024 I have worked for mostly Audio-Visual companies. In my 29 years in the industry I have held different titles from Technician to Salesmen to GM to Owner. I have learned over this time span about how all aspects of the meetings and convention business work together. I also partnered with a coworker to start up a business called ASI Conference Systems, where I not only handled the technical portion of the business, but I also handled the marketing. In my private time in enjoy off road adventures with my wife and 2 dogs in our Jeeps. I was also a member of the Nye County Search & Rescue for 5 years where I serviced as communications officer.
