WILLIAM JOHNSON
FOUNDER
Rogue One
William has spent over three decades of his career working in the entertainment industry.
From being a best boy rigging grip on feature films in Hollywood to a touring FOH Sound Engineer, Rigger, Lighting Director, to Concert Video Director and Road Manager, his experience in production is a legacy he now wishes to pass on to the next generations.
Providing hands on training in live event production and broadcasting via coverage of concert tours and in house weekly productions, it is William's goal to train up American Service Men and Women in Live event Technology and TV Broadcasting Tech at no charge whatsoever.
This is why Rogue country is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity and completely viewer supported, as we wish to give back to those who have given us so much.
