History
Our parent company Fly By Night was conceived in 1977, providing sound, lighting and entertainment for private parties. The organization was incorporated in 1989. At present, the corporation maintains a fleet of five trucks each stocked with back-up equipment. Being as a two person operation in the late 70's, our team now includes ten field technicians, eight music designers and an office staff of five. Our professional office staff includes our Founding President, Ross Unger; CEO, Claire Unger; Account Sales Manager, Larry Barnett; Director of Operations, Glenn Schultz; and Operations Manager, Mike Sisk. The office integrated computers in to sales and operations in 1985 and today our eight-workstation network manages every aspect of our operation. Every tidbit of information provided by our clients is carefully entered and tracked in our client database. First online in 1995, our web presence represented by this site provides information and interactivity.
