Our Story...
Greg Decker (President of PSS) has personally been working in the convention and entertainment industry since 1977, when he joined IATSE Local #720 in Las Vegas, NV. Since then, he opened PSS and has expanded the company to include 4 additional Labor Coordinator / Account Executives, all of which have 20+ years in the industry as well. While many labor vendors outsource their payroll, we run all of our own payroll internally with a staff of 4 team members within our payroll department. This allows our Labor Coordinators to work directly with our Payroll personnel to make sure all figures are calculated and turned around promptly and in the most efficient way possible, to both our clients as well as the union. Running payroll internally also eliminates discrepancies others may run into using an alternative payroll/billing system.
While our core operating staff is made up of a very talented small group of detailed individuals, just over the past 5 years, we’ve assisted our clients with the production of, on an average, 330 shows each year. Many of these shows have had labor budgets in the $1m and higher range and have included multiple unions within a single jurisdiction.
Our Team....
The staff of Production Support Services has gradually grown into an eclectic group of 13 individuals, that remarkably work as one to keep up with our ever-changing work load. With backgrounds in Theater, Banking, Architecture, and the Medical Industry, our combined knowledge and flexibility are two of the main characteristics that make our team so successful at what we do.
