Dogwood Production Services was founded by T. Conor Hale, a Raleigh-based Live Production Technical Director with over a decade of experience in audio, video, lighting, and AV systems integration.

Before launching Dogwood, Conor spent nearly five years as Central Technical Director at The Summit Church — one of the largest churches in the country — overseeing AV systems across 13 campuses, leading installations and upgrades, managing vendors and contractors, and developing production volunteers. He has also worked as a freelance Audio/Video contractor since 2015, executing live events and installs across the region.

Conor holds certifications in Dante (Level 3), Q-SYS (Level 2),and NETGEAR enterprise networking, along with broadcast video engineering experience, and is an Asana AI and Workflow Specialist — bringing both technical depth and operational efficiency to every project.

At Dogwood, we listen first, solve production gaps, and deliver dependable results — so your team can focus on what matters most.
