Brian N. Benauer
Founder/Owner

Brian began his career in the early 2000s, crisscrossing the country in a van and trailer and learning the foundations of touring from the ground up. In a short amount of time, he advanced to working with some of the largest acts of the era, contributing to productions ranging from 50 to more than 200 personnel. His hands-on experience spans every corner of the touring world, lighting, audio, video, automation, stage management, and head rigging with shows involving 100+ points.

This wide-ranging expertise naturally led Brian into production management, where by 2025 he was supporting major artists such as Leon Bridges. Over the past decade, he has refined his focus on production management, stage management, and event safety, developing a reputation for meticulous attention to detail, strong organizational instincts, and the ability to prioritize the critical elements of any live event. His dedication and professionalism have earned him the trust and respect of touring artists, crews, and managers across the industry.
