Joey Hopkins

Account Executive

Based in PRG’s Las Vegas office, Joey Hopkins provides audio rental, sales, and design support on local productions.

Born and raised in Queens, NY,  Joey attended the New York Institute of Technology on an Honor & Challenge scholarship and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts. He then pursued further training at New York’s Audio Recording Technical Institute, graduating in 1986.

In 1987, Joey moved to Las Vegas to become a technician for Nevada Audio Visual, where he quickly gained experience serving all aspects of the Las Vegas market, including ballrooms, showroom theatres, and convention centers. Not long after joining Nevada Audio Visual, Joey was serving as a show coordinator and audio designer and eventually ran the company’s audio department.

In 1992, Joey left Nevada Audio Visual to serve as an audio engineer for the famed Legends in Concert show on the strip. One year later, he accepted a position with the largest audio services company in Las Vegas, A1 Audio.  Joey remained with A1 Audio throughout the 1990s, gaining experience as an engineer, operations manager, and rental salesman. In 1999, he was named general manager of the A1 Audio Las Vegas location, a position he held through the acquisition of A1 by PRG later that year.  In 2006 he joined Blue Man Group as a sub audio engineer to keep up his engineering skills.

When he’s not on the job, Joey enjoys playing golf and spending time with his wife Shanda and two daughters Clarice & Elaine.
