Chauvet has appointed Thomas Fonseca, an entertainment industry specialist, as business development manager for the company's Chauvet Professional and Iluminarc brands in the Southern California and Nevada markets. Fonseca will work out of Chauvet's Sun Valley, California facility, which handles sales, service, distribution, and technical support for the western region.

"Bringing Thomas on board is part of an ongoing process of building our sales, service, and support capabilities on the West Coast," said Albert Chauvet, president of Chauvet. "This process started last year with the opening of our Sun Valley facility and it gains momentum as we assemble a world-class western team. Thomas' technical background extends beyond the US; his experience and expertise are going be a tremendous asset for our company and our customers."

Fonseca, who has 13 years of experience in the entertainment business, worked for various production companies early in his career before becoming head electrician at the acclaimed Teatro Gloria in Rio de Janeiro.

"The breadth and depth of Thomas' knowledge is extremely impressive," said Grant Goodson, national sales director of Chauvet Professional and Iluminarc. "Thomas has excelled in many areas of the entertainment technology industry, including as a technical director and lighting programmer, as well as a live sound engineer. His experience gives him a genuine understanding of our customers and their needs, which is essential to the level of service that we want people to associate with Chauvet Professional and Iluminarc."
