Customer Spotlight: Keefe Bieggar / The Finding Church
“My best advice: just go. Show up at a venue, wrap cables, push cases, ask questions, and start turning knobs. The church is also an amazing training ground - it’s where I started 13+ years ago. You’ll get hands-on time with the same gear used in top productions, there’s a huge need for volunteers, and there’s plenty of grace as you learn. That path not only got me here but also connected me to the kind of tools I use today, like Rupert Neve.”
