TESTIMONIALS

 
  • It’s his ability to combine the creative and the practical that make him stand out in a field of others. His concern that everything is done to the best of his ability is woven into every area of his life, and wants to help others who would desire to be their best at whatever it is they do.   
    — Matt Bushling
  • Jesse has exceeded expectations. Not only has he elevated our entire in-person and online worship experiences through video, sound, and lighting he was able to do so by using much of our own current equipment. Jesse’s ability to understand, plan, implement and train to the highest levels is impressive.
    — Pastor Gary Mariano | The Gate Church
  • Jesse puts an incredible amount of effort and attention to detail into everything he does. He has a great eye for how things should look and a great ear for how things should sound. We have worked on many creative and technical projects together, and every one of them has produced results beyond expectation because of his passion in these areas.
    — Nathan Stauffer | Worship Pastor
  • I have worked with Jesse on a number of multimedia projects over the years. He has a broad range of technical expertise in dealing with equipment, platforms, and digital systems. In addition, he has a great eye for detail. I would highly recommend him to any organization that is trying to set up or upgrade their audio or visual environment.

  • Jesse completed a full digital conversion of our church's sound system and upgraded our stage lighting to LED fixtures. He helped recommend the best solutions, supplied all the parts & installation, and completed all decibel tuning & programming. This conversion process was seamless and was completed promptly, which did not interfere with regular church operations.

He really knows how to put all the pieces together to make any production be the zenith of professional. His knowledge of the equipment, his understanding of the importance of the message and his down to earth personality make him the ideal person to work with in any environment.

  • Have you ever been so frustrated or confused by an aspect of technology that you want to rip out your hair or quit altogether? That was me!! Jesse helped answer many questions I had and took the time to speak with me on the phone from the perspective of a musician and then as a Christian. His help with custom tracks for my worship team is going to enable my team to grow from 1 to as many as I can fit on the stage.
    — Reba Babyak | Gospel Church
  • I personally watched Jesse take a church media and worship team with limited budgets and experience to a professional level by utilizing many of the tools our church already had. Jesse thinks out of the box and creatively and carefully finds solutions to many hurdles that a small church or business runs in to.
    — Eric Bartholow
  • Jesse has a heart for servant leadership. For a man who consumes very little caffeine, he is one of the most energetic, motivated, and task driven people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I know if Jesse is given goals, they will be completed with a level quality and creativity that regularly surpasses his peers. His knowledge of technology, music equipment, audio and visual equipment, and troubleshooting is vast.
    — Nick Sukosd
  • He consistently communicated everything with us and came back multiple times to check on our progress to ensure we were understanding how to work the equipment and if we needed him to fix anything else.  Not only did he communicate with us consistently, but he took time to train us on all the equipment.

AUDIO

With over 20 years experience in pro audio, live sound, and studio production, we are here to help you sound your best.

 
 
 

VIDEO

You don’t have to be a professional videographer or spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for your video content to be of quality.

 
 
 

STREAMING

Due to the pandemic, a lot of churches have moved to streaming their services online in order to serve their community and still minister to their local church body. This can seem like a complicated and frustrating endeavor, but it doesn’t have to be.

 
 
 

NETWORKING

Is your system too complex for you, or do you want your system to be more complex than it currently is? We have experience in networking devices together to streamline communication and automation.

 
 
 

PROJECTION

Whether you’re using old school transparencies (hopefully this isn’t the case) or a more modern approach with ProPresenter we are here to help make sure that the content you need to communicate comes across in a clear fashion.

 
 
 

LIGHTING

From simple to complex. From stationary to motion. From color gels to LED. From $100 to $100,000. Whatever your lighting needs, desires, or budget, we can help.

 
 
 

STAGING

Frustrated with a small stage? Not certain what to do with too big of a stage? We want to help you utilize the space that you have to its fullest potential.

 
 
 

INSTRUMENTATION

Between 20 years experience in leading a music team, being well versed across most instruments, and having extensive studio experience, we can help your team.

 
 
 

SYSTEMS

It all begins with an idea. But the question is, “How will you implement, execute, and sustain that idea?” We are here to help you create and implement new systems for the operations of your church.

 
 
 

WORSHIP LEADER COACHING

It starts with the Word of God. As worship leaders we are charged with leading our congregations in a time of corporate singing. It doesn’t just require a musical ability, it requires a biblical foundation. Don’t just “sing” songs but “lead” them and pastor your people.

 
 
 

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Matthew 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Through Jesus, we were given the ultimate example of what leadership looks like. A servant. If you want to lead well… serve well. We want to help equip you to serve.

 
 
 

TEAM TRAINING

Sometimes it can be frustrating working with volunteers that may have little to no experience, but with the proper training you will eventually begin to see how all the parts of the machine can work together.

 
 
 

EQUIPMENT TRAINING

Equipment and technology is ever-changing and most churches aren’t equipped with professional technicians, engineers, etc… We are here to help you better understand the equipment you have.

 
 
 

PROPER SETUP

Don’t know where that wire goes? Don’t worry. We can get your system set up properly so that you can focus on ministering to your people.

 
 
 

EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Need to upgrade? We will help you make decisions that align with your vision and your budget.
