Jay Huleatt, what keeps him in the laser game after over ten years? He’ll tell you — it’s the thrill of making every show shine perfectly. Working out of Charlotte, North Carolina, Jay has mastered the balance between art and accuracy, lighting up everything from championship arenas to college basketball events.
Finding the Spark
Why he chose this line of work, was because “I’ve always enjoyed both the simplicity and yet the endless possibilities of well-programmed lasers,” he says. That fascination quickly turned into a career. Starting as curiosity and becoming a lifelong craft — one that still excites him every day.
Responsibility That Shines
Lasers are beautiful, but they demand control and confidence. Jay understands that better than most. “I think lasers are one of the few departments where at the end of the day it all comes down to one person,” he explains.
He recalls working on massive productions where precision is everything. “For instance, the Stanley Cup — the moment that first cue fires, you have to be certain that you’ve covered every safety and operational aspect so that anything going wrong is not even an option.”
That mindset defines his approach. Every detail matters. Every cue counts.
Lessons for the Future
When it comes to advice for future laser technicians, Jay keeps it honest and humble. “Try to do something that other people aren’t doing, and always know for certain that there are so many guys out there better than you. No matter how well you do, I learn from others every single day, both younger and older than me.”
It’s that mix of confidence and curiosity that keeps him moving forward — and keeps his shows evolving.
Lighting Up the Moment
Most recently, Jay took his skills to Arkansas Razorbacks Basketball Primetime at the Palace. The event combined sports, energy, and entertainment — a perfect playground for his precise yet creative laser work. His attention to timing and atmosphere turned the night into a visual celebration that fans won’t soon forget.
Whether it’s a major championship or a college game, Jay’s philosophy stays the same: bring focus, bring art, and let the light tell the story.
✨ Sharp mind. Steady hands. Brilliant shows. That’s Jay Huleatt. ✨
