Vice President, Rentals – Christie Lites
With over four decades in the lighting industry, Rod has built a career defined by hands-on experience, leadership, and deep knowledge across every facet of entertainment lighting. Starting out on the Western Canadian club circuit, Rod moved into touring and corporate work with Westsun and RA Roth, gaining invaluable experience along the way.
From 1994 to 1997, Rod served as the Vari*Lite operator and technician on the 1st National Tour of Show Boat, followed by nearly a decade touring as a Lighting Director, Designer, and Crew Chief with PRG. In 2006, Rod joined Christie Lites in Seattle as Operations Manager, where he played a key role in expanding shop operations and streamlining workflows. He transitioned into Rentals in 2010, and today serves as Vice President, Rentals.
Rod’s practical knowledge and show experience give him a unique edge in understanding the needs of clients and crews alike. Outside of work, Rod enjoys fishing, golfing, and cheering on the Seattle Kraken, Seahawks, and Mariners—always finding time for his family amidst a busy career.
