George Ray’s love of the audio/visual industry started in high school theater and drama. In college, he ran his dorm’s sound system and worked at the campus radio station. After landing some smaller gigs, George moved to Florida to work as an entertainment technician for Disney. He then took a job at Total Audio Visual Services. George spent nine years there, pioneering moving, widescreen, and large format video images, computer switching, and seamless switching. He became the Video QC Director for LMG and was promoted to head of R&D. He implemented LED touring systems, lighting systems, fiber optic networks, and media servers. In 2018, he joined Evolve but took a brief hiatus in 2021 to create LED stages for Vu Studios. He returned to Evolve in 2023 as the LED solutionist. He’s uniquely capable for this role because he’s spent the last 13 years laser-focused on LEDs. His 40 years of experience helps him support clients even if they say, “We’ve never seen this before, but can you do it?” If he’s not working, you can find him baking, or enjoying a local (taco) spot.
