- GEAR STAGED IN CLEARFIELD, UTAH
I am based in Nampa, Idaho. My Utah gear lives in Clearfield and I have a local owner-operator I trust on the ground here. That is the truth, and it beats a landing page run from an out of state phone number.
Davis + Weber County
Here is the honest version, because you are going to find out anyway. Home base is Nampa, Idaho. Utah is my second market and I have been working it for years, so I keep gear staged in Clearfield instead of hauling everything across two states, and I have a local owner-operator here I trust with my own shows. I come out for the work. Nobody is pretending a warehouse in Idaho is around the corner from your venue.
Compare that to what else is bidding your job. Some of it drives up from Salt Lake and calls that local. At least one company running Ogden and Layton landing pages answers on a California area code with no Utah address anywhere on their site. I would rather tell you exactly where the gear sits and exactly who is touching it.
Twenty nine years behind consoles. Corporate general sessions, city festivals, school theatre, weddings, and straight gear rental. When a show needs more hands I bring in other owner-operators, not day labor, so you get one person to plan with and a real crew on site.

Where the Gear Sits
Drive time from the Clearfield staging location to your venue. This is what matters for delivery cost and for how fast a replacement piece reaches you mid-show, which is the real reason to care where a company keeps its gear.

Venues
Knowing a room before load in day saves you money, because I already know where the power is, where the loading dock is, and how the space behaves when it fills with people.

The Guarantee
On corporate work, if an audio failure on my end stops your program, you do not pay. Backup gear rides in the same truck on every job. That is also the honest argument for staging gear in Clearfield instead of Idaho, because a spare console two states away is not a spare console.
I have run holiday events for Boeing, Ancestry, and Avetta, two major annual events in Salt Lake City for five years running, and fourteen years of a three stage festival on Antelope Island. Ask for references in your industry and I will give you names.
Common Questions
Straight answer: I live and work out of Nampa, Idaho. Utah is my second market. What is actually in Davis County is my gear, staged in Clearfield, and a local owner-operator I trust and have worked with for years. I travel out for the shows. I am telling you this up front because at least one company running Ogden and Layton landing pages does not have a Utah address at all, and you deserve to know who is really down the road and who is not.
Corporate AV starts at $2,850. A wedding DJ starts at $2,500, or $249 for the weekend if you want to run a DIY kit yourself. Silent disco is $850 for up to 100 headsets. Speakers rent from $40 a day, wireless mics from $35, and an A1 engineer is $850 to $1,200 for the day. Every single rate is published on this site, which almost nobody in Utah does.
Yes. That is a dry hire and it is the cheapest way to do it. You pick the gear off the rate page, pick it up or add delivery, and run it yourself. If you want somebody there, adding a tech is $950 for up to 8 hours and I will tell you honestly whether you need one.
Both, and the corporate side is a big part of it. Conferences, general sessions, awards nights, holiday parties. I have run holiday events for Boeing, Ancestry, and Avetta, and I run city festivals and multi stage events. On corporate audio there is a guarantee: if an audio failure on my end stops your program, the show is free.
No. It never is, anywhere, no matter who tells you otherwise. Delivery inside Davis and Weber County is quoted off the drive from the Clearfield staging location, which is short because the gear is already in the county. Pick up there is free when we can arrange the handoff.
Yes. Ogden, North Ogden, Roy, Pleasant View, South Ogden, Eden, Huntsville, and up to Brigham City. Weber State and Snowbasin are regular stops. Because I travel in for Utah work, book me earlier than you would book somebody across town. Give me a couple of weeks on a normal event and I will tell you honestly if a date is too tight rather than take your deposit and hope.

Tell me the venue, the date, and the headcount, and you get a real number back the same day.
