Seattle, Wa , Us

A member of the team that launched the most unique museum in America, dedicated to the spirit of creativity as expressed through rock music. During my time, we were able to successfully build relationships with the Seattle business community that turned the EMP from just a tourist destination to a vital part of the Seattle entertainment scene. We were able to cultivate a tremendous roster of donors by creating exclusive events and opportunities for them to entertain inside of the only museum of its kind.

We developed one of the last major national nightclub brands, bringing urban nightlife to suburban areas. In bringing nightclubs to this new market segment, we were able to pioneer some of the most unique nightclub promotions in history.
