Obsidian Control Systems announces the addition of Daniel Boerner to its expanding global team as a newly appointed Technical Support and Training Specialist. Boerner started in the new position in November and uses his expertise in lighting control to support Obsidian’s acclaimed NETRON line of data distribution products. Over time, his role will extend to encompass support for all products under the Obsidian brand.
Boerner brings valuable experience from his previous position at Acuity Brands, where he served as a Technical Support Specialist for six distinct product lines. Additionally, he served as coach, author, and publisher for a Knowledge Centered Service (KCS) program, contributing content for customer-facing troubleshooting and training.
Having been involved in production from an early age, Boerner has extensive experience in the industry from the artist, integrator and designer perspectives. He has toured as a guitarist, worked for an integration/live events company, and has served as a touring lighting designer/director, among other positions. “Live events are something I am deeply passionate about,” he stated. “Having the opportunity to work both as an integrator and lighting director nationwide helped me develop into a multi-faceted technician that understands the challenges faced in the field.”
In his new role at Obsidian, Boerner’s primary responsibilities encompass firmware/software testing, customer support, and the creation of technical documentation and training materials for the NETRON line. Applying his extensive industry experience, he will also contribute to future product development.
