Introducing Andrew Connor Barrie, another one of Chase Creative’s hard working and talented employees! We love recognizing the remarkable efforts of our dedicated employees.
Get to know Andrew a bit more and read a little more about his passions and creative outlook on our AV team!
Question 1: What has been your favorite project so far at Chase Creative?
Answer: I’d say my favorite project so far at Chase Creative was Michigan Safety Conference at DeVos Place. We had many breakout rooms throughout DeVos and managing everything from the setup, to the event, to strike allowed me to build confidence both as a technician and as a leader. I also enjoyed working with a talented union and freelance crew. Working with larger crews from different departments reminds me of working on movie sets.
Question 2: Why did you choose a career in AV?
Answer: I’ve always wanted to work in the film/video industry. After receiving a degree in Film/Video Production from GVSU I started getting more work in AV. I then realized a career in AV would be more stable when compared to working on movie sets. Plus, I can incorporate my love of camera work, lighting, and sound.
Question 3: What advice would you give to someone interested in working in the AV industry?
Answer: My advice would be don’t be afraid to ask questions. Be able to work well as a team
member and be as diverse in AV gear and equipment set up as possible.
Question 4: What do you do for fun, in your time off from work?
Answer: I like to travel and spend time outdoors in the summer. I also enjoy spending time with
friends and family and flying my drone.
Question 5: What is one thing on your bucket list?
Answer: Travel to Europe and Hawaii.
Question 6: If you won $1 Million, what would you do with it?
Answer: Travel, pay off student loans and my car, move to a bigger house and probably start a
drone business (part time), help family out if needed and put a bunch into savings.
Question 7: If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Answer: If I could learn to do anything I would probably want to learn how to fly a jet.
