Our Team

Paul Winkler, Corporate Sound’s President, has been active in corporate and concert productions since 1975, with family ties to the live event industry. His father, a great musician, started him in the business many years ago. After touring with national bands across the country and world, Paul now serves as Corporate Sound's president. He stays involved in all levels of the company, including operations, sales, and leading in the creation, implementation, and management of events. When asked what keeps him in the industry, he's humble: "I've always been around music, and after I got the chance to open my own sound company, I never looked back. By listening to our clients, we have evolved into a full audio-visual production company. It's all about providing the best event experience possible and making our employees feel like a family."

A musician at heart, Dave has the equipment knowledge to assist customers with box sales that will best meet the needs of their projects. He is our go-to guy for many behind the scenes processes. He ensures that our trucks are in excellent working order, our facilities support our growing needs, and equipment deliveries are timely. He is a trusted professional who works hard to ensure the flawless execution of events for our clients. (Photo by Plaunt Photography)

Eli began as an Audio Engineer at a local church in his early teens, where he gained the opportunity to expand his skills to lighting and video. He spent two summers traveling as an AV Tech and photographer in summer camp before freelancing for Corporate Live in August of 2021. Now, as of March 2022, he has joined our team as our full-time AV Technician. Eli is a jack-of-all-trades, so you're likely to see him both in the shop and on the jobsite.

Katie came to Corporate Live initially as an intern with a BA degree and background heavy in the arts: film, literature, choir, and in local theatres with roles as actor, A/V tech, AD, and ASM. She is now a full time, integral player at Corporate Live, your first contact, your connection to each person on our team. The company relies on Katie to tend to everything non-tech related like AR, AP, HR, taxes, benefits administration, website and social media updates. (Photo by Plaunt Photography)
