a bit of our story
a look under the hood with ceo, liz o'keefe
For over 50 years, I believed everything I had earned in my life was achieved through my hard work,
grit and determination.
I had my health,
a phenomenal marriage,
a beautiful family,
and a successful live event and installation business
that supported our lifestyle for over 30 years.
On March 11 of 2020, my husband and I embarked
on a cross-country drive for our annual vacation.
By the time we hit Georgia,
my daughter’s college classes were virtual.
When we rolled in the driveway of our rental property,
the clients were emailing.
A few days later we were scrambling for products to make our own hand sanitizer.
When the world shut down on March 20,
I hugged my husband on the beach and we prayed.
We knew our industry would be hit hard
but we had no idea for how long.
Overnight, our business became illegal and our calendar
cancelled for over two years.
We had a warehouse filled with equipment
we could rent to no one.
and our business of 31 years would never be the same.
At a time when our competitors furloughed their employees,
we were led on a different path.
In the summer of 2020, our people sold gear
out of the back of our shop to keep us alive
and my husband, daughter, 155-pound Newfoundland,
Murphy and I drove the countryside.
We traveled church to church in gloves and masks
and met pastors and volunteers.
We visited 370 houses of worship that summer.
We helped congregations stay together livestreaming their services,
and producing parking lot worship for people 6 feet apart.
We didn’t know where it would lead, but it felt like the right place for us to be,
While we drove around that countryside, I prayed for staff members who would come to work and act like leaders.
For inspirational work that would help us change the lives of the people in the seats if we were ever lucky enough to fill them again.
I prayed for clients who would be grateful and appreciate the heart and integrity we bring to their partnership.
Today, we are a force...redefined.
Every day, more of this beautiful story unfolds and we have the privilege of watching it from the front row.
We’ve been here since 1989, and I know one thing for sure. We are exactly where we are supposed to be,
and I 've got a feeling we are just getting started.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to dive a little deeper into our story.
If you’ve read this far, please drop me a line below and introduce yourself.
I would love to learn more about you. -Liz
