Bandit Lites World Headquarters Adds to StaffBandit Lites, a provider of concert lighting, has once again increased its workforce with the addition of Alex Becker and Jamie Sullivan. The two join the team as lighting technicians to meet the influx of events and productions in 2016. Becker and Sullivan provide support for prepping sales installations, local touring shows, in addition to moving light repair. They also cover all aspects of productions for events centering around the area, including Blackberry Farm productions, charity events, and concerts. Upon his graduation from Jacksonville State University with a BA in technical theatre, Becker joined the Smoky Mountain Opry as lighting director. He then became the head electrician for national tours including Sesame Street Live and assistant electrician for Elf: The Musical national tour. "Throughout my lighting career, I have always had respect for Bandit and strived to one day work for the company," said Becker. "I love how Bandit shows pride and exceptional quality in their product and leaves no detail behind. I am so excited to be joining the Bandit family." Prior to joining Bandit, Sullivan worked as a stagehand and fly rail operator in addition to being a technical director for the University of Tennessee's opera. Now with Bandit, he shared the best part of his job is the comradery of the Bandit Family, a sentiment echoed by Allison Burchett, Bandit's director of philanthropy and production manager. "Alex is great on a console and always cool under pressure," she said, "And Jamie comes to us with several years of experience as a local stagehand crew chief, making him a natural leader. It is great to have them both on the team."
