Brendan Locker
VP of Operations
Brendan and ATN have been working together in a variety of ever-evolving capacities since 2003. During Brendan’s early years of onsite management, touring, and regional staffing, ATN stood out as an industry leader. And ATN continued to impress Brendan when he (later) became an ATN client (for 7 years). In his current role as ATN’s VP of Operations, Brendan utilizes his 20+ years of onsite execution, event management, and production skills to strengthen ATN’s core capabilities and ensure stellar execution for our clients.
A disc jockey through and through, Brendan’s musical tastes run the gamut (….Hip-Hop, Classic Rock, Americana, House, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Bluegrass, Indy Rock & Outlaw Country… ). He’ll surely need to mute his studio speakers before taking your call, but know that he is always excited to share what’s in that day’s rotation, if so inclined!
Blake Herder
VP of Sales
Blake worked a few events as a brand ambassador during college in Las Vegas and quickly realized he wanted to go all-in on experiential marketing. In 2004, he began his touring career with PlayStation, and it wasn’t until 2010 when he and his wife (also a tour manager) decided to turn in their tour luggage for a more “normal” life in Michigan. There’s nothing normal about Blake or this industry though! He then went on to oversee event operations at an agency where he was a happy client of ATN Event Staffing for over 6 years. He joined ATN in 2016 and leads the sales and client services team as the VP of Sales.
Blake and his wife Kelley have two wonderful kids (Ella, 10, and Mason, 7) and are often found at a swim meet or on the golf course.
