Steve Fowler
Logistics Manager
Steve Fowler has one motto: “There is no problem that can’t be solved”. Working in the rock and roll industry since 1995, it was an easy transition for Steve Fowler into the Audio Visual industry because it included all the aspects of a rock concert with slightly different elements. Steve Fowler holds “Fall Rest”, and “Rigging” certifications. While Steve is managing a crew of up to 100 workers on a production, he is always an advocate for safety by ensuring safety standards are met.
By organizing many crews for big productions across the island of Newfoundland, Steve Fowler has established a strong database of experienced laborers. Working on such conferences and concerts as Show Canada with over 800 Delegates at the Delta hotel and Convention Centre, or Mile One concerts that seat 7,000, Steve thrives under the pressure to ensure that every event runs smoothly.
