History
Established in 2001.
Mercury Sound and Lighting (MSL) began in 2001 when founder Dave Johnson, then an 18-year-old high school senior, started the company with a borrowed trailer and a Guitar Center Credit Card. The name "Mercury" was suggested by a friend on the day Johnson went to officially register the business.
Driven by a passion for creating unforgettable events, Johnson pieced together a system and began renting it out, growing the business one small job at a time. After graduating high school, Johnson attended the University of Michigan-Dearborn to study business but soon realized his entrepreneurial spirit was best suited to building Mercury.
Now, over two decades later, Mercury is a leader in the A/V industry with a strong culture and clear vision. Our talented team partners with diverse clients, from houses of worship to Fortune 500 companies, delivering exceptional audiovisual experiences. At MSL, we prioritize creativity and service to exceed our clients' expectations.
