DANIEL WHITE – AV Technician
Dan’s experience in the AV industry began when he was 14, when he was the only one skinny enough (and not afraid of spiders) to crawl under the church stage and run mic cable. During his high school years he began tearing apart small electronics, in order to “make them better.” The next decade he rocked out, quite literally, as he ran sound and lights at the iconic Cotillion Ballroom. At Kent AV, Dan is the consummate AV tech, with extensive knowledge in all areas of video, audio, and lighting. He is passionate about working with people, and is a real asset to any customer he works with.
