DAVE PICCOLA

DIRECTOR OF VENUE INSTALLATIONS

David Piccola currently serves as the Director of Venue Installations for Mountain Productions. In this role, he works closely with decision-makers from various venues, stadiums, arenas, convention centers and theaters to design and implement customized, permanent solutions, including fall protection systems, arena reduction systems, sub-grids, automated intelligent control systems and virtually everything in between. He is dedicated to improving venue logistics for the organizations he works closely with, while saving their time and budget.

Dave’s passion for the entertainment production industry manifested while he was still in high school, where he spent all of his free time enrolled in shop and art courses and producing for a friend’s band. Continuing to pursue his love of all things mechanical and art-based, Piccola spent the next several years rigging, touring and taking calls through his IATSE local chapter, before rigging and advising the production of Cirque du Soleil based in Las Vegas. He brings with him thirty years of experience in the event production industry.

When Piccola isn’t spending time with clients, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Melissa, and family. His passion for the entertainment production industry is met only by his love for competitive cycling. He credits his bicycle-bound lifestyle for teaching him, above all else, to persevere beyond perceived limits and, in his work as in cycling, he continues to surpass goals and exceed expectations.
