JACK MAXSON

 Co-founder of Showco, Inc. and former president of Delta Recording Company and Spot Productions. 

 Jack was fascinated with electronics from earliest childhood, and began his career as president of the Delta Recording Company and Spot Productions. His major enterprise was the creation in his garage of Showco in 1970, which, under his leadership, would become one of the premier sound system companies in the world. His clients included Sir Paul McCartney and Wings, the Rolling Stones, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Led Zeppelin, Three Dog Night and James Taylor. This was followed by the founding in 1981 of Vari-lite, a pioneer in laser lighting. In private life, his preference was for classical music, of which he had an encyclopedic knowledge.
