Finn

AV Technician

Meet Finn, one of our full-time CEG AV Technicians. Despite only starting with the team earlier this year, Finn has quickly become an integral member to the team with his can-do attitude, initiative and strong sense of accountability!

In his role as an AV Technician, Finn is wherever the event takes him; whether that’s onsite installing at an event space, at our warehouse helping to prep and de-prep, or at our studio as part of a virtual broadcast team. Whether he’s working on your event’s installation or bump out, or as an AV operator on the day, Finn is sure to bring a smile to those around him as he works diligently to bring your event plans to life and goes above and beyond to make sure our clients are happy and feel technically supported.

As a newbie to the industry, Finn is yet to choose his AV speciality, however, given he’s a prolific gamer in his spare time, it’s no surprise that Finn’s developed an affinity for anything video related. From streaming, to editing through to coordinating pre-records for virtual events, video is his jam!

The events industry can be high-paced and high-pressure - it’s all part of the rush that those of us who work in it, enjoy. Finn takes these situations in his stride, thriving in high pressure environments where a client is relying on the team to technically troubleshoot and come up with innovative ideas. When asked why he loves working in events, Finn’s response was; “I love how everyday is different, no day is the same. There’s always new challenges and something to learn”. 

Fun facts about Finn

  • Favourite things to do outside of work? I enjoy building computers, gaming, video editing, photography, DJ’ing, motorbikes and anything to do with technology. 
  • Favourite event that you've worked on at CEG? It would have to be the APP Conference in the Gold Coast installing a LED wall as it was my first work trip. I was a little nervous at the start, but the team made me feel welcome and were always happy to answer any questions.
  • Favourite moment while working at CEG?: I was able to have a play around with some industry standard DJ equipment (CDJs) during the setup for an event we did recently. I’ve always wanted to get my own for personal use so this was very exciting for me.
