Troy F. Vollhoffer - President

Troy Vollhoffer was born to own and run an international show business - quite literally.

Troy’s grandfather stage-managed a vaudeville soft seat theatre in his hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, and by the time Troy came around, his father, Harold, was managing a brand-new soft-seat theatre in the same city. Troy’s mother, Dorienne, took care of wardrobe and costume tasks at the same theatre, in addition to her day job. The entertainment business was their life and Troy, the Vollhoffer’s only child, was in the middle of it. By the time he turned 14, Troy was working the load-ins and load-outs, alongside his father and two uncles. It was obvious to everyone at the theatre that one day Troy would be working in some facet of the business and just as it was with his father, it would be his life.

Brian Andrews - Vice President

Brian’s adventurous life has uniquely prepared him for his current role as Vice President for Premier Global Productions. Growing up in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, Brian was instilled with the dedicated work ethic that is indicative of people from the prairies. In early adulthood he left home to join the armed forces and see the world, which he did over a period of four years. In the military, Brian learned the virtue of self-discipline and the value of being being prepared for the worst, because sometimes the worst can happen. During this time, Brian received a diploma in Traffic and Transportation from the University of Waterloo.

Jamie Grossenkemper - Project Manager

Since joining PGP, Jamie has expanded his role from fairs and festivals to touring acts, only a few of which include, Tim McGraw, Rush, Bette Middler, Neil Diamond, Dave Matthews, and Champions on Ice.

Angela Feher - Accountant

Angela Feher has always had a thing for people and for numbers. This led her to study business administration and human relations, graduating from Trevecca Nazarene University with her B.A. in 2001. She worked as a billing and accounts receivable specialist for Horne CPA Group, and as a marketing support specialist for AIG. As much as she enjoyed these roles, she remained restless, looking for something new and exciting. The entertainment industry, through Premier Global Production, provided that rush whcn she became the head of accounting in November 2006. Though the sheer scale of the company makes accounting a challenge, Angela is ready to meet everything head on.

James Vollhoffer - Lighting

During a 16-year road career, James Vollhoffer — our company’s vice president of lighting sales and accounts — travelled the world many times over and became the consummate “road dog”, working professionally and selflessly with dozens of big-name acts, some of whom include Metallica, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ozzy Osbourne, Tim McGraw and the Backstreet Boys. The fact that James has worked with many of these acts, many times, illustrates just how valued he has been in arenas and theatres around the world. James has also worked on many high-profile PGP projects, events that included work for the President of the United States and the Roman Catholic Pope.

Though James still loves the road and intends to visit PGP’s touring clients often, he is throwing himself into his new office job in Nashville, where he will quarterback PGP’s growing and expanding lighting division. James is hoping to retain PGP’s many current clients while bringing new tours to our Nashville-based company.
