Brandon Eliker
Co-Owner/Director
Brandon, co-owner & mastermind of The Vault, grew up in Waverly, Nebraska. He danced in high school and that led him to working for the same traveling dance convention as his better half. Those years traveling created a career for him in production in Los Angeles. Brandon spent 8 years there climbing up the ladder to eventually become project manager for a major company "512 Creative". Through that company he worked for dance events, movie premiers, award shows, and so much more. Brandon’s love for lighting, design, and production provided him with the ideas and concepts you see here in the space.
