Leadership Team
Les Goldberg is no stranger to the live events industry. While most of his high school peers were worried about exams and the latest school dance, he was busy planning a business. 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.
