service. We feel that among every variance in this ever so fast changing
industry, we lead the industry with our business model. In the following

revolutionary stance in the industry and on our approach and interaction
with our family of client(s). We shall offer industry leading equipment

300.00 • History
300.01 Stage Pro Entertainment was founded in February of 2000 by
founding member and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Fett. Fett
continues his vision partnered with his personal belief that the
entertainment industry operates in reverse as what it should. Production
companies are paid premium rate only to offer age old equipment,
inexperienced and ill-equipped technicians and with zero concern for
customer service. Fett brought a seemingly simple concept to the table
that has revolutionized the entertainment industry. Offering such care
empowers the client to stand in the lime light assured creating a genuine
smile of confidence on their face. The is what created the new “Pulse” to
the entertainment industry.
