Make live
production easy

What is FoxBolt?

Hi there, my name is Chess. FoxBolt is my AVL & creative consulting agency. I’ve been working in production and design for over 16 years, and I want to help your team accomplish your mission. The primary goal of my work is to give you time back so that you can spend more time doing what matters most.

I am deeply passionate about helping churches take the tech stress out of Sundays by helping production staff & volunteers gain confidence in their skills and their systems. If you're operating in "Survival Mode"on Sundays, I want to help. Sundays should be a joy, not a struggle.

Why work with FoxBolt?

See what some of my clients have to say.
We invited Chess to lead a breakout session at our Annual Conference. The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive! Many shared that they left feeling more confident and better equipped to use tools they already had, and even our more advanced participants walked away with practical strategies they could immediately implement. Whether you’re looking for foundational training or more advanced insights for your team, I would highly recommend Chess!

Working with Chess was a fantastic experience for our team! Every video project we worked on had a unique premise, and Chess always had creative solutions to capture it in a way that beautifully executed our vision. On top of being attentive to detail and timely with deliverables, Chess is just a joy to work with!
Ridge Thomas
Senior Director of Communications Lifepointe Church 
I always seek Chess for help first. He’s always my first call when I have absolutely any questions or needs when it revolves around my A/V and music ministries. Not only is he knowledgeable, he’s a pleasure and a joy to be around, and makes hard projects seem easy. He’s worth every penny we’ve paid him and tenfold.
Daniel Mallard
Worship Pastor
Independence Hill Baptist Church
Chess has constantly ensured that those under my leadership not only know how to “run sound and lights,” but also understand the equipment... and most importantly, view these positions as active worship. Having someone like Chess who understands the tech, execution, and the Holy Spirit’s role in ALL roles of services has been an incredible advantage I’ve had in helping grow ministries and further the Kingdom-building legacy of Jesus.
Jimmy Atkins
Worship Pastor
Chess helped us turn our “thrown together” sound, set and production booth into a full-fledged unit. Our goals of creating a great sounding and visually creative Sunday service were exceeded by the time he took to help our volunteers & staff. Our production volunteers feel more equipped and more excited than ever to continue learning and exploring thanks to the skill set Chess has shared with us. Our Sundays look, sound, and feel MUCH more intentional!
Daniel Atkins
Worship & Creative Director
Homestead Church
Chess is incredibly approachable and personable. He strategically assesses the unique needs of his clients and customizes his content and coaching accordingly. He has really helped our team learn and apply functions of different technological platforms to streamline communication and maximize efficiency.
