Testimonials

  • “I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Mike and AJ over the last several years and I have to say what a distinct privilege it’s been. Mike and AJ’s professionalism, attention to detail and flawless execution of his duties along with their calm demeanor made every day a positive experience regardless of the venue or the endless challenges we faced playing every major stadium, literally around the world. We would roll into the venue with complete confidence that every aspect had been looked after and any issues addressed. In the 60 years I spent in the touring music industry working with Mike and AJ has been a highlight in my career.”

    Chris Littleton | Tour Manager for Green Day, Eagles, Madonna

  • "Mike and his team provided some of the best venue security we've had to date. They were consummate professionals and always handled issues that arose promptly and professionally. I would definitely recommend them to any Tour that not only wants a professional team, but good people to be around."

    Izvor Zivkovi | Manager for Kanye West

  • “Mike Faello is one of the best security directors I’ve had the privilege of working with. There is never a concern about the safety, security and comfort of the artist when he’s on our team. He is one of the first calls I make when staffing a tour. Aside from being great at his job, he’s also a great guy with a positive attitude and that goes a long way in this business!” --
