Eddie Raymond

Eddie Raymond is a noted trainer for IATSE Craft Advancement Program, which was a featured part of the ESTA sessions during the NAMM Show in 2018. It was the first such time ESTA and NAMM teamed up to facilitate these important training programs, which covered certification and safety training. Eddie started building scenery for theater in the 1970s and worked in both the theater and film (Raiders of the Lost Ark and Howard the Duck among them). Throughout his journey, he kept seeing the need for training and was honored to connect with ESTA to further that goal. NAMM joined the team and provided this training at the Anaheim Show in 2018 and Eddie was proud to have been a part of a new beginning.
