My first big event was in April 2008.  The event was a fundraiser for about 800 guests. My job was to provide video support for the event that included 10 plasma monitors, video switching, camera, and PowerPoint presentation.  Planning this event was a real challenge. At the time, I didn’t own ten plasma televisions so I had to figure out where I  would get them.  I did find them and learned the value of relationships with other providers in the area.  The event was a huge success, and I knew I could be successful in this industry.
