I founded Ten Fifty in 2016. We work with over one hundred of the largest live events in the country each year. This includes music festivals such as Coachella, Rolling Loud, and EDC; sporting events like the PGA Championship, Conventions such as Star Wars Celebration and ComplexCon, and municipal events like LA Pride and Pope Francis's 2015 Mass to a million people in Philly. We are the leaders in providing ADA consulting for live events but also provide crowd services such as Guest Services and Volunteer Management. I feel very grateful to get to do this work. We work in 22 states with many of the nations largest events and are excited to constantly innovate in our field and provide the best experience possible for disabled guests.

As a non-profit organization we look to improve accessibility at live events for people with disabilities. We have a number of different projects such as bringing awareness to the disabled community on event accessibility, sponsor the Inclusion Festivals, train volunteers who are interested in accessibility and event production, research new assistive technology, and distribute tickets to recently disabled individuals that need something fun to look forward to. My personal role is providing guidance and setting big-picture goals.
