Raves

I've been working with Dan for more than a dozen years. In film and video production, the key thing I ask of my crew is that they stay focused and engaged. From planning to wrap, no one I've ever worked with answers this call better than Dan. Second, his attention to technical knowledge, especially with media technology changing at the pace it is today, is first-rate. I learned long ago that if I'm leaning on Dan, I won't fall. He's the best."

Curt Petersen|Petersen Productions, Inc.

Dan Seiler has been my go-to sound man and video tech since I first met him 14 years ago. No one I have worked with has more versatility on jobs large and small. He anticipates...he seems to do the work of two or three people. He shows up on the job with the very best gear: mics, mixers, cables and more accessories and specialty tools than I can name. Whatever the job, Dan comes equipped to do it perfectly. I cannot overstate my appreciation for his work ethic, his persistently cheerful attitude, and his professional competence."
