About Jesse Harmon

My career choice didn\'t start at a fancy university.it started with a song. I first heard the love recording of Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, and I knew that I was going to fit into the audio visual and production business somewhere. That led to my studying music technology through a very diverse course load (including technology, business, marketing, etc), I landed a job in supplying audio visual needs to businesses in a hotel setting. While there, I learned key aspects of customer service, transparency, and collaboration. I have been a production professional for nearly 10 years. I am experienced with sales, retail, and customer service, and I have technical skills in video, lighting, audio, and rigging. As a leader, I am experienced in day-to-day floor operations, sales, event technology. I have a proven track record of revenue generation through relationship building, networking, technical expertise,\"asking the right questions,\" and with goal of providing a great customer experience. I\'m known as the guy who helps start and grow relationships between clients and venues. I try bringing humor and positive to my team, and I make meetings fun and productive. Listening is another strong skill of mine, as I love listening to other people and encouraging productive discussion, even when people disagree. I am energized by diverse and creative thinking, and I use humor to diffuse tense and stressful situations to keep the team focused. Fast-paced and ever-changing environments thrill me. Highlighted strengths: Audio, rigging, operations, quick problem solving Ongoing improvement opportunities: Turning my intensity into passion and results.
