Every day Brendon is on the front line, directing the crew and installing the equipment to make our clients’ vision a reality. In addition to his tremendous work ethic and his team-player attitude, clients benefit from Brendon’s greatest attributes: his concern for quality and his eye for aesthetic excellence to create custom solutions to event challenges.

Stacy Taylor
Finance
Stacy’s our chief of numbers who holds the purse strings, expedites billing and keeps the office in order. She makes sure payroll is in on time, clients are billed accurately and that we get paid for our hard work. When she’s not having fun with Quickbooks, she’s enjoying her obsession of keeping our systems organized!
During her free time she turns on her right-brained and takes great pleasure in making arts and crafts, cooking, creating jewelry and yes, keeping her home organized.
Ed Woodward
General Manager
Ed keeps Event Resources’ operations in sync with our clients’ needs. He has filled many roles in the music and event world since his start in 1976, and his propensity to stray outside of the lines has enabled him with a unique set of production and problem solving skills. He began working with Arnold in 1989 and joined Event Resources full time in 1996.

Allison will remove your event anxiety. By asking exactly the right questions, she knows what you need, when you need it and how to thread all the pieces together. The result? No stress for you and a problem-free event. Her expertise comes from her experience planning programs and events for Yale and the International Arts and Ideas.
Outside of work, Allison keeps busy teaching hoop dancing, being involved in the local music scene and fundraising for charities.
