Bandit Lites Promotes Andrew Ellis to Project ManagerBandit Lites announces the promotion of Andrew Ellis to project manager, where he will plan, direct, and coordinate with Bandit's clients to ensure the goals and objectives are accomplished within defined budget and time frames. Ellis began his live events education early, working as a theatre tech with various Northeast theatre companies in both high school and college. Upon earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Show Production from Full Sail University, he met Jake Tickle, Bandit Lites VP of business and innovation during an educational outreach event. Tickle hired Ellis as a freelance lighting technician in 2018 before he joined full time in 2021. While at Bandit, Ellis served as a tech and crew chief on several tours including Rob Thomas, Alanis Morrisette, Shinedown, Jason Aldean, Breaking Benjamin, Stick Figure, and The Marley Brothers. "Andrew has continually shown an appetite to learn more and be better, not only better himself, but by bringing ideas that will better our company and our process," says Tickle. "He tackles every challenge head on. I look forward to seeing Andrew dig into this new leadership role!" "Bandit has always been good to me," says Ellis. "The people and the work environment make the job of touring a lot easier than it could be. I can't see myself anywhere else."
