          ed the start-up in early 2000
        
        
          with a group of friends who
        
        
          “simply wanted to provide
        
        
          party goers with a unique en-
        
        
          tertainment experience, pro-
        
        
          moting the music we grew up
        
        
          loving. We wanted to provide
        
        
          more than just what you would
        
        
          get at the standard show. We
        
        
          wanted people to be com-
        
        
          pletely immersed in a visually

          vironment they would never
        
        
          forget.” The company’s mod-
        
        
          est roots thereafter grew and
        
        
          their passion morphed into a
        
        
          group of professionals with
        
        
          exceptional skills, which be-

          sonally I felt there was more to
        
        
          life than a paycheck. I wanted
        
        
          to do something with my engi-
        
        
          neering and design skills that
        
        
          made people happy and could
