Designing Festivals that Connect, Innovate and Inspire. I am passionate about creating large scale festivals that connect patrons in an immersive environment in extraordinary ways to achieve outlined objectives. Taking the ordinary and creating the extraordinary. The purpose of these festivals vary from community pride, academic rivalry, branding, cultural exposure and arts, to international, regional and local exposure of products, goods, and services. Connecting brand messaging, With more than 35 years of experience and over 3,000 events, I am experienced and accomplished. I began in the resort industry within a family business supporting winter sporting events such as ABC Network's Wide Word of Sports, and have since worked with NASCAR, Tall Ships, Universities, and Corporations to present some of the most attended events on the East Coast. I am excited about the innovations that technology provides as I continue to pursue new creative ways to connect patrons, convey messaging and provide stakeholder engagement. I enjoy Marketing, Branding, Design, Layout and Measurement Metrics. I pride myself on being a great communicator. I lead by example and thrive on training, mentoring and building teams.Areas of Expertise;Project ManagementEvent DesignEvent LogisticsEvent Set UpEvent Take DownBudgetingRisk ManagementVendor CoordinationVendor Negotiations and ContractsStakeholder EngagementBrand EngagementMarketingSponsorshipPermitsPolitical EngagementAdmission Revenue Marketable Entity RevenueSponsorship RevenueMedia RevenueMerchandising RevenuePower DistributionWater DistributionSecurityParkingLogisticsInventory ControlFinancial ControlInfrastructure ConstructionRoland Large Format Printer Banner Design and CreationVolunteer CoordinationTent AssemblyScaffold AssemblyFork Lift OperationCDL Drivers License
