About Encompass

Encompass Event Group is a technical production partner for agencies, producers, and technical directors who need more than an AV vendor.

We focus exclusively on technical design and deployment for live events and entertainment. Audio, video, lighting, LED, and rigging, plus labor and logistics, are what we do with discipline and precision.

Unlike companies that blur the line with creative or client-facing services, we stay in our lane. Our role is to ensure the technical side of your event is fully prepared, cost-controlled, and free of surprises.

With national reach and a boutique approach, Encompass integrates seamlessly into your team and delivers outcomes you can trust.

Over two decades later, our growth wasn’t accidental. We invested in the right people, equipment, and systems to ensure that when the pressure is on, clients can focus on their audience and creative vision knowing that the technical side is already under control.

Encompass was shaped by the discipline of broadcast engineering and live television environments, where preparation, precision, and accountability are non-negotiable and there are no second chances. That background set the standard for how the company approaches technical production for live events.

Today, agencies, producers, and technical directors turn to Encompass when they want less stress and more trust. We don’t just deliver equipment. We integrate into your team, protect your budget, and manage every moving part with the same thoughtful care, whether it’s a local press conference or a national conference.

Our Partners

Dave Jensen

CEO / Director of Solutions

My production career began in 1990 as a part-time Engineering Assistant with Advantage Service Group. My responsibilities included design/build of online edit suites, head-end broadcast facilities, and non-linear editing installations.

Mark Payne

COO / Director of Operations

My career was launched in high school. A church utilized the school’s event space and, as an active member of the drama department, I became involved in the technical aspect of their services and events.

Eric Satre

President and General Manager

I started my career in 2003 working at Red Rocks Amphitheater with Dowlen Sound. Not a bad way to fall in love with live events!

Dave Jensen

CEO / Director of Solutions

In 1994, I was transferred within the company to fill the role of Multimedia Designer and was tasked with designing graphic packages for corporate television networks and national association events as well as interactive CD-ROM authoring for Continued Medical Education (CME) credit testing.


I was transferred back to an Engineer role in 1997 and have designed temporary systems used in a wide array of venues; including several NFL stadiums and countless convention facilities.


In 2001, I founded Live-Online Television. While building the company’s reputation, I spent three years as a Technical Director for Fox Sports, Altitude Sports & Entertainment and the Denver Broncos. Before leaving the “fame and fortune” associated with broadcast television, I served as the Director for numerous Fox Sports broadcasts and trained other Technical Directors around the country using Grass Valley broadcast switchers.


As the CEO of Encompass Event Group, I oversee marketing/branding/sales, company culture, customer experience, and influence long-term planning. I still fill in as an Engineer, Producer, Director, Technical Director, and Graphic Designer on rare occasions.


I’m a huge advocate of time off and spend every opportunity with my family. We prefer beach destinations. Of course, lazy weekends together at home are cool too!

Mark Payne

Coo / DIrector of Operations

After graduation, I started a landscaping company but remained active in audio and lighting. I sold my landscaping company in 2016 to focus on event production full-time and started ACA Productions. My customer-first attitude and attention to detail fueled ACA’s growth for several years.

 

In 2018, I joined Encompass Event Group (through acquisition of ACA). I manage day-to-day operations, process development, inventory oversight, and influence long-term planning. You’ll still regularly find me manning a mixer or designing/deploying audio systems on high-profile events.

 

In my free time, I take full advantage of Colorado’s outdoor lifestyle. Enduro motorcycle trips, camping, and jet skiing are my favorite outdoor activities. Good ole’ fashioned board games are awesome too!

Eric Satre

President and General Manager

In 2005, I moved to Florida in pursuit of a business degree. My schedule allowed me to continue supporting live events, plus broadcast sports, for several years while attending school.


Post-graduation, Dowlen Sound (which later became DSI Event Group) welcomed me back. I held several positions, eventually becoming its General Manager. My tenure ended following a successful acquisition by Clearwing.


I’m proud to have supported more than 350 shows at Red Rocks and to have toured nationally. The Gorge and Madison Square Garden are among my most memorable venues.


I joined Encompass Event Group in 2017, which kicked off a rebranding and intentional growth phase. As its President and General Manager, I’m tasked with day-to-day oversight of all functions of the company, but focus specifically on finance and process development.


My role is mostly facility-based, but you’ll still find me onsite for certain events. Being active in the US Air Force Academy Graduation and a few high-profile corporate events allows me to maintain connection with what we love to do and who we love doing it for.


Outside of work, I’m passionate about exploring the world. In 2023, I finally checked off all 50 states. My new goal is to visit every continent – with just three to go! At home, you’ll find me on the golf course, behind the grill, or spending time with my family. I’m engaged to be married in2026, and couldn’t be more excited!
