Bandit Lites Nashville Grows with New Gen8 Hires

	Michael Holmes

Bandit Lites Nashville office continues its growth in Gen8 with several new hires including Michael Holmes as Bandit's chain hoist technician.

Holmes began his entertainment lighting career as a rigging technician working in the steel isle. He later joined a lighting company and was certified as a motor technician. At Bandit, Holmes will be responsible for all the electric chain hoists, ensuring they're maintained and able to provide safe and operational motors for Bandit's clients and crew. He'll also maintain the Bandit custom motor control system and power distribution for motors.

"I never thought I would find a true career, not just another job," says Holmes. "Working on electric chain hoists is something I love doing and working with an employer who will actually take care of their employees is amazing. I have been blessed in so many ways when Bandit Lites gave me the opportunity to be a part of their team. If I had to choose one word to sum up how I feel to be a part of this team, that word would be 'honored'."

"Michael is such a great addition to our shop," says Bandit Lites technical service manager, Sophie Phillips. "We were worried about finding a replacement for our long-beloved motor tech Rich when he retired, but Michael came in and blew us out of the water! His want to learn, his unwavering drive to help, and his years of knowledge is just awe inspiring! He's an amazing addition to our team and I'm excited to see him grow with us."
