EXECUTIVE TEAM

Eric Gilbert

President, CEO | FOH Productions and Roadcase.com


Eric Gilbert stands at the helm of FOH Productions and Roadcase.com, serving as their President and CEO from the headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. His remarkable career is a testament to his deep-rooted passion for music and unwavering technical expertise.

Eric’s passion for music started at a young age when he joined the band in fourth grade and continued through high school, eventually landing him a music scholarship to Northern Arizona University. Eventually, he landed a job as a technician, where responsibilities included operating audio and lighting equipment for high school events.  This experience opened doors to a role as an AV technician at the renowned Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Eventually, he saw a need in the industry, and he was inspired to start FOH Productions.

Eric’s passion and leadership provide the background for everything that FOH does, paving the way for premium customer experiences for those who want caring professionals to take charge of their events.

Bud (William) Norman

Director of Production, Partner | FOH Productions and Roadcase.com


Bud has a long history in the industry, starting in Sunbelt Scenic, AV Concepts, and then eventually going freelance.  Eventually, his path crossed with Eric’s. Bud’s exceptional work ethic was an ideal fit for FOH Productions, which led to a full partnership for both FOH Productions and Roadcase.

Clients might see Bud on a job site, but his expertise and leadership are mostly utilized at the Phoenix headquarters. 

Austin Engstrom

Vice President, Partner | FOH Productions and Roadcase.com


Austin joined the FOH team in 2008 when he was hired to load and unload trucks as an ambitious and hard-working high school student. After studying business at Northern Arizona University and returning to Phoenix, he was quickly welcomed back onto the FOH team.

Austin has become an integral FOH team member, leading our organization into the future. He is also a partner in our production equipment case company, Roadcase.com. His involvement has helped Roadcase thrive and grow into the future, and the FOH/Roadcase family is excited to see which horizon Austin’s vision will lead us over next.

David Temby is an accomplished professional with over three decades of experience in a variety of industries, including production, retail, construction, logistics, and entertainment. His diverse skill set includes accounting, finance, human resources, legal, compliance, sales management, operations, project management, and IT, which makes him a natural for his role as Chief Operations Officer of FOH Productions and Roadcase.
