OXNARD, CA – Ted Fowler, Marc Raymond and Brian Konechny are pleased to announce that on March 1, Gordon ‘Gordo’ Hyndford joined Epic Production Technologies as Senior Account Executive.
Hyndford, who is based out of Epic’s Southern California facility in Oxnard, brings over three decades of industry relationships and experience to the company including a number of years working closely with Ed & Ted’s Excellent Lighting (one of the two founding companies of Epic).
Born in Canada, Hyndford vividly remembers being inspired by a speaker who came to his sixth grade class to talk about his job as lighting man for the popular Canadian band The Stampeders. The lure of working in the world of rock and roll stayed with him and he started the company Pyrotek at just 17 years old in 1981. Three years later he decided to explore life on the road and spent nearly two decades touring with major acts including the Rolling Stones, Metallica, KISS and David Bowie, serving as everything from pyrotechnician to climbing carpenter to crew chief.
From 2000-2006 Hyndford worked with Ed & Ted’s as lighting crew chief on tours including Eminem, Prince and Bon Jovi before returning to Pyrotek as Special Effects Director during a three-year break from the road.
Having established a number of major corporate clients throughout his career, in the past several years Hyndford has developed particular expertise in the auto show industry as a Project Manager/Crew Chief for Porsche, Mercedes and Volvo rollouts at the LA, Detroit, Miami and NYC auto shows. He says he looks forward to further serving this market sector in his new role at Epic.
Epic’s Ted Fowler describes Hyndford as a true Renaissance man in the industry, always in-demand for his wide range of experience. “We are truly thrilled to have him join Epic full time and bring his outstanding level of knowledge and expertise to our concert and corporate clients throughout North America.”
