Written by the managing editor of Worship Arts & Technology Magazine, Brad Herring has owned an audio contracting company for ten years and has traveled the country designing and installing sounds systems for churches and theatres, all the while teaching church leaders how to use them. He has worked professionally as a sound designer, lighting designer, stage manager and producer, and has taught at such national conferences as NAB, LDI and InfoComm. In 2000, God moved him to begin Church Production Resources--a ministry-based business that creates media resources for churches, centered on individual training, DVD training products and creating multimedia worship aides for ministry.
