SPRINGFIELD — Visual Sound Productions Inc. (VSP), which specializes in live event production, A/V services, multi-media production, and entertainment, announced the continued growth of its team with the addition of three new team members: Nathan Dunahoo, Daniel (Dan) Gil, and Christopher (Chris) Coughlin.

Dunahoo joins as a creative specialist, bringing a background rooted in creative storytelling and multi-media design. His passion for compelling visual content and innovative design promises to add fresh energy to VSP’s production team.

Gil, a 2019 graduate of the University of Hartford with a degree in audio engineering, comes on board as an A/V technician. With a sharp ear for sound quality and experience in both live and recorded audio environments, he is ready to help bring events to life with precision and professionalism.

Coughlin, the newest member of the team, also joins as an A/V technician. A 2024 graduate of the University of Massachusetts with a degree in communications, he brings a strong foundation in media production and a drive to grow within the industry.

This expansion follows the recent onboarding of Kara Bombard, who joined the VSP team earlier this season to support operations and client engagement. With the addition of these new hires, Visual Sound Productions continues to strengthen its creative and technical capabilities to meet growing demand across New England and beyond.

“We feel very blessed because we keep hearing about the shortage of talent and, in the last few months, have found four total rock stars,” said Nicole Nell, president of Visual Sound Productions. “Nathan, Dan, and Chris each bring a unique set of talents that complement our mission to deliver high-quality, engaging experiences. As we continue to grow, investing in great people, and our community, is at the heart of everything we do.”
