Our Leadership

Liz O'Keefe graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Graphic Design. She began her career in art direction and motion graphics and in1998, she pooled her talents with husband Michael O'Keefe and led the creative divisions of Technical Productions, Inc.

She has won back-to back Parnelli awards for Production Design on the Toby Keith Tour, and has decades of designing corporate production sets in her wake alongside founder, Michael O'Keefe. After helping to manage and run the business for over 20 years, she purchased the majority ownership of TPI in 2019 and walked right into a global pandemic with a warehouse filled with gear and a cancelled calendar.

Always passionate about a challenge, she brings both strength and new vision into what we are calling TPI 5.0, redefining the company culture and strategic mission to inspire lives, one audience at a time.

Michael O'Keefe, founder, has been a leader of Technical Productions, Inc. since he opened the doors in 1989. He began with roots in theatrical lighting design and the simple concept that he could do things better and more efficiently than the people surrounding him. Three office spaces and over 35 years later, his mission has remained the same. If there is a better way that involves groundbreaking design, decreases load-in time, saves the client money on labor and increases the production quality of the show, you'll most likely find Michael behind the wheel.

While the world went to sleep in the Summer of 2020 Michael and his family traveled church to church handing out literature in masks and gloves.  They helped congregations stay together doing parking lot worship and upgrading streaming services in a 50-mile radius. Innovation, integrity and a tireless work ethic are the fabrics that have woven our entity together for over 35 years.
