Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my page. Here you will find some info about myself and some of the work I have done. Just a brief overview, nothing overly formal.
Producing events is what I have come to be known for. I have a combined 15 years in the Event and Marketing industries doing such. Yet, events are only a fraction of my capabilities. Out of necessity, over the years I have learned to wear many hats: at times to an almost comedic degree but I pulled it off and enjoyed every stretch of the journey.
A tinkerer at heart, so naturally inquisitive and stout is how I would describe myself. Most certainly, a side effect from years of watching Discovery Channel. Nonetheless a quality that has served me well and will continue to serve me as I continue to amass new skills in new roles on my professional journey.
Below is a small sample. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Professional Skills
Work Experience
THE MAC, LLC
Production Director
In 3 years, I helped turn the start-up into a disruptive powerhouse within the automotive event industry. Our ability to find solutions and execute on our promises earned us the honor of being tabbed as a preferred vendor by Nissan North America and its marketing agencies of record. The MAC became crucial in executing Nissan’s marketing strategy across North America. Working with internal creative and product teams, I helped develop and produce virtual gameshows, red-carpet premieres, and mobile marketing tours aimed at increasing brand and product awareness amongst niche markets. We additionally managed Infiniti and Nissan’s product placement fleet placing vehicles in shows & movies such as: Bad Moms, Grace and Frankie, Fast & Furious franchise, and Stuber to name a few.
BEYOND MARKETING GROUP
Production Manager
While at Beyond Marketing Group, I oversaw experiences for brands such as Harley-Davidson, LifeAID Bev Co, MotorClub (NBCSN), Nissan North America, and Scion Motors. During which time I worked closely with account and marketing managers to develop actionable productions plans aimed at creating memorable brand experiences via installations, tours, and exclusive events with the goal of driving brand and product awareness. Events incl.: Scion Rockfest Tampa & Memphis; Scion Musicless Music Conference; Nissan|Radioshack|Trek USA cycling tours; Nissan & The Voice Car-a-oke; 2016 Crossfit Games After-Party hosted by Reebok and LifeAID, and much more...
ACTION PURSUIT GROUP
Production Manager
Served as a Production Manager for a leading automotive tuner and lifestyle show- Hot Import Nights. Provided budget and logistical support by negotiating union labor calls and technical riders for show booths and stages throughout a 28 city national tour with an average daily attendance of 15,000+.
AUDIO ELEMENTS
Audio/Lighting Tech
We all had to start somewhere and these were the humble beginnings of my career in events. As a low-level tech I pushed cases and connected lights with pride. Here I made it a goal to learn as much as possible about events.
