Duane Tabinski .... a witness heard him groan and found him “slumped over” .... Tabinski had been hired by NASCAR to produce audio for pre-race celebrations. The witness went to help, but another worker stopped him because Tabinski, 53, was in a “padlock” area, meaning high-voltage electricity was circulating,..."

I know anything could have happened, but obviously not a rookie mistake... Faulty equipment? I've seen situations where over confidence leading to neglect becomes and issue...

About

With 30 years in the Live event production business, I have learned a few things.

There are no problems just solutions

How to bring the WOW in on budget

How to make things work when they don’t want to

And the show will go on

These are the beliefs that I bring every event partner (yes partner)
I feel as though I partner with my clients to bring the best results to fit their budget.

The combination of Structures, Lighting, and Video enhanced with the Highest quality Audio provides the most impact for an event attendee. Guaranteed to keep them coming back.
I pride myself on being able to make my clients feel confident and every artist comfortable for their performance.

When you are putting together your next event, be it indoor corporate convention or Outdoor festival
I would love an opportunity to become your event partner in production.
