Danny joined LSAV POWERHOUSE in 2001 as Vice President of National Accounts, bringing with him more than twenty years in the staging business.

Christine’s first live corporate event was operating speaker support for a meeting at the Chicago Theatre. Midway through the presentation, a floppy disk got stuck in a disk drive (yes, it was that long ago), she used her earring to get it out, and a career was born.
