In 1984, he started LMG at age 17 with a $5,000 loan from a relative and the entrepreneurial spirit to succeed. He began by renting video equipment from a one-room office. Little did he know it would grow into a supplier of video, audio, and lighting support services for Fortune 500 companies across the nation and worldwide.
