About Us

I work for the government full time and love it, but one day realized that throughout my entire professional employment history there was only one constant- - and that was my love for the entertainment industry.

I remember, as I was standing on the stage one night, the artist turned, and was playing directly to me; I watched all the screaming fans in the audience, all wanting to be where I was...I realized then, just how blessed I was, to be working in the entertainment industry, and doing something that I loved so much.

I didn't start actually working in the music industry until around 1995. Then I learned many of the positions involved in putting on a concert or production. I was accepted into the IATSE Local 674 (International Theatrical and Stage Employees Union). After learning all the positions, I knew I enjoyed the Production Assistant; Runner; and Wardrobe Assistant the most.

As the years went by I decided that I wanted to run my own business, and here we are; Gulf Coast Production Assistant Services L.L.C. was formed in 2008. We are better known as RockStarRunners but don't let the name fool you, we are trained and experienced production assistants and have worked closely with hundreds of top name entertainers from all genres, for almost two decades.

We enjoy our work and pride ourselves on our professionalism and friendly service. You will find us working with artists who perform at some of the largest casinos and venues on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I have hired and trained a great team who are all skilled in one way or another, and we Rock!!
