He is now ready to further his career as part of the expanding global team of lighting industry professionals who represent ADJ.

"I am a gear junkie who pays attention to every part of a lighting fixture," enthused Turner. "I am very pleased to join ADJ and look forward to expanding my career working with a company that is already a staple of the lighting industry. I'm excited to be able to work with a larger network of customers and use my talents in new ways as I travel around my territory meeting with dealers and introducing them to ADJ's wide range of innovative, reliable, and affordable products."

Turner will be working directly with regional sales reps and dealers in the states for which he has taken on responsibility. His role will involve creating sales and also providing support and training. This will include visiting retailers to provide staff training as well as providing practical help such as programming in-store light shows.

Using his varied technical knowledge and experience, Turner will be selling and supporting ADJ's extensive range of LED video panels, moving heads, DMX controllers, and static lighting fixtures.

ADJ USA's national sales manager, Alfred Gonzales is pleased to have Turner join the ADJ team, "I'm excited to bring on a guy like Mike, who has such broad product knowledge along with such diverse technical experience. As ADJ continues to grow, I'm sure that he will play a vital role in bringing new opportunities to ADJ and showcasing our fantastic portfolio of products to an even wider customer base."
