If, as Shakespeare suggested, life is a play and all men merely players, Kindal Jumper is one of the rare people with a backstage pass.
Her parents, Ben and Katie Jumper, have owned businesses touching on several aspects of the entertainment industry, from catering and production to equipment storage and rehearsal space. As a result, she grew up attending her parents’ events and spent time around acts such as Metallica and Aerosmith.
Jumper said she can’t imagine life without working with the stars, despite the hassles she’s experienced — being uprooted to move to Atlanta so her father could work the 1996 Summer Olympics, for example.
“I created a love for it, and I don’t see myself anywhere but doing things in the entertainment industry behind the scenes,” she said.
