Sound Decision employs a number of highly skilled technicians.  We are always looking for additional personnel for help in all areas of production.  Please check out our employment page for more details. 

MARK HARTZELL, owner and head of systems engineering at Sound Decision, holds a Bachelors of Science Degree in Audio Engineering from The Ohio State University.  He has quite a diverse background from house engineer at the OSU Collage of the Arts doing classical recitals to remote multitrack digital recordings at Milwaukee's Metalfest.  Mark draws from over 25 years experience both on and off stage.  Unlike a lot of "bigger" companies, Mark oversees every show and is committed to make sure your event runs smoothly.  This is probably why he is often hired for engineering duties on "third party rigs."

Here are some highlights of Mark's career:

• Head Engineer for the regional touring choral group, the Scarlet and Grey Show
• Recorded and performed with country rock recording artist Streamliner
•  Scores of albums with engineering credits from The Bodeans to Paul Cebar and the Milwaukeans
• Founded Sound Decision Productions in 1997
• Countless shows, both as Front of House and Monitor engineer for local, as well as National Acts
• Nominated best FOH Engineer and Best Monitor Engineer for the 2001 WAMI awards
• Sound Decision Productions wins Best Stage Production Award in 2001

"This is a demanding industry, one that you must enjoy and be willing to work long and hard hours.  I am fortunate to be working with people that not only love what they do, but excel at it!"

ANDREW BROWN  heads up the lighting division at Sound Decision as Lighting Designer (LD) and Director.  His unique ability to adapt to a wide variety of taste in lighting, coupled with professional attitude and work ethic have made him quite popular.  Andrew has a grasp of "production value" as a whole, giving him an understanding of the marriage between lighting, scenery, audio, and audience perspective.  This makes him a valuable asset at Sound Decision.

Here is a brief list of some of the more notable clients Andrew has worked alongside for lighting production/spot operator :

Live Concert Production: Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elton John, Janet Jackson, U2, Cher, Bon Jovi, Goo Goo Dolls, Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, Ricky Martin, AC/DC,  NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Bare Naked Ladies, Jeff Beck, Limp Bizkit, Eminem

Live Musical Production: Sarah Brightman, 2001 Stars on Ice Tour, Sesame Street Live

Live Television and Special Events: 2002 All Star Game, WWE Smackdown, WWE Raw is War, WWE No Way Out

"Learning to take the emphasis off the technology and the glitter of the lighting itself, and accentuating the performers, the songs, and the show, is an art in and of itself and one I take very seriously whether it's a show for 50 people or 50,000."
