the way we communicate. live experiences. travel, music, and writing. the art of telling a story.

I want to get to a place where every event I produce happens in a location that is unexpected to my client/the audience and results in giving back. Instead of holding a conference or meeting in New York, for example, I would drive clients to spend their money and their time in a place that needs the support - New Orleans, Detroit, Oakland, Richmond, Philly. Places where the experience is a bit grittier but ultimately more rewarding.
