Description

For the past 4 years I have done nothing but work in the event industry. This all began in February 2011 when I started a company with my two friends Matt Medwid and Alex Dansky. After a year of struggeling to get our company off the ground we became partners with OneEleven Music, in Eugene, OR. This partnership subsequently lead to the production of nearly 100 events ranging from smaller club shows (200 in attendance) to large scale production such as Foam Wonderland and Life in Color.

Besides the numerous single events and tour stops we produced, this partnership also lead to the production of Kaleidoscope Music Festival. This was probably the greatest experience I have had to date. We featured 100+ artists over 3 days for 7,000 attendees. We featured 5 stages and acts that varied from Bassnectar to Nas.

Since then I have continued to seek work in the greater event industry. I covered for my good friend Chris Butscher at Electric Zoo and now work full time at a local nightclub Cozmic, here in Eugene. My current posting has given me the awesome opportunity to program, operate, and maintain a large array of 8 moving fixtures and 8 LED par lights.

I feel that my past experience makes me a perfect fit for this position. I hope to hear from you soon!!!

Thanx,

Ian Alvarez
