In 2016, I founded IMRSV-X to focus on 360 degree immersive video dome experiences for the experiential corporate events and trade show markets. Since then, we have done projects for themed entertainment, sports/eSports, concert/festival, defense, and tourism markets to name a few. Primary services include: executive production, experience design, creative production, real-time programming, gamification, technical design & production, project management, live production, and technology consulting & integration.A key project was for Microsoft at the Super Bowl in Houston, Texas called the Creators Lab where people could use their innovative Surface Tablets and PCs to customize NFL apparel, logos, and cleats. The user generated content was then served to a projection dome that was suspended overhead and it was all moderated by an MC. Another key project was for Universal Music Nashville where I produced an immersive concert dome for the launch of the new Lady A album at the CMA Festival. Also, while with IMRSV-X, I pioneered the use of 4K and then 8K camera systems to live stream or “DomeCast” major concert and sporting events with the most recent being the Austin City Limits Festival which featured the highest resolution live dome video feed ever.

As CMO at Omnispace360 I was responsible for all areas of marketing and business development. The company specialized in B2B clientele with a primary focus on immersive projection domes, planetarium systems and experiential marketing activations for Fortune 500 brands. In addition, as Executive Producer, I am responsible for the successful execution of projects which range from permanent theater development projects to experiential marketing activations including domes and projection mapping displays.During Covid I was brought on to overhaul the company’s branding, marketing, and website along with implementing multiple successful business development campaigns which brought some very high-profile projects during my time there including a faith-based immersive attraction and culminating in the Dali Alive 360 experience. I not only managed all marketing and business development for the company, but I designed, and executive produced a number of these major experiential activations and attractions.

Fantasy Domes was founded to deliver the ultimate immersive art experience to the masses. Our team curated a slate of shows by some of the top immersive artists in the world and delivered an ultra high-resolution 8k dome theater with 4D seating that coincided with the shows to deliver an experience like no other. We then built a 50' diameter immersive dome theater at the LINQ on the Strip in Las Vegas where we hosted over 100,000 visitors prior to the Covid-19 outbreak causing its closure.An immersive dome attraction on the famous Las Vegas strip where we built an immersive projection dome theater on roof of the LINQ Hotel and Casino, this attraction featured a stunning fulldome display along with concert level audio and 4D effects and consisted of immersive art and music experiences that I curated working with artist friends from around the world. The most successful immersive experience was called Fractal Universe where I teamed a world renown fractal artist with a famous EDM DJ to produce a mind-blowing experience like no other.

As founder, I was responsible for the startup of the company and planned all aspects of company operations, branding, product, and service offerings. I was one of the pioneers who brought digital dome technology out of the planetarium market where it originally evolved and into the experiential and entertainment markets. After launching the company, I was responsible for all aspects of company marketing, business development and strategic relationships including sponsors, agency partners, clients, and vendors. I executive produced dozens of major brand experiential activations as well as themed attractions and shows. At Vortex Immersion Media (VIM) I executive produced visionary immersive entertainment venues and related products and services. As CMO and nearly the sole source of revenue to the company, my clients included leading Fortune 500 brands, casino resorts, theme parks, nightclubs, lounges, urban developers and corporate marketing, events and the trade show industry.In 2007, I found partners and collaborators and formed Vortex Immersion Media. Our main goal was to build permanent immersive venues but quickly we realized that the projects were high budget and would require longer timelines than would sustain the company, so we set our sights on developing immersive solutions for experiential and events. It didn’t take long before I had secured our first major dome client in Nike at the 2008 NBA All Star game in Los Angeles, California. From there we went on to produce immersive experiential activations at multiple Super Bowls, Comic-Cons and other high-profile events working with some of the top brands and agencies such as NBC Universal, Xbox, Cartoon Network, IBM and many others.

I managed all aspects of sales and marketing for a home construction products manufacturer. There was an emphasis on home builders who would specify the product into their home designs as well as a focus on distributors of the products to be available in markets where the homes were being built. Through a solid mix of event and trade show marketing as well as traditional print, web, and social media, I was able to successfully increase sales in the company three-fold during my time there and built a solid team.

I managed a boutique agency that focused primarily on marketing consulting for live events with a focus on concerts, nightclubs, and music festivals. There was a heavy focus on social media marketing, guerrilla marketing, PR, general internet advertising, and event marketing. I provided marketing services to companies of all sizes and assisted with the successful launch of multiple startup companies planning the complete branding and marketing plan for the companies.

I founded Entertainment Innovations in the late 1990s and was executive producer of a host of special events, indoor concerts, nightclub events, and large outdoor music festivals through the early 2000s. Most notably, Trancend produced and co-produced three outdoor “multi-cultural” art and music festivals in the Southeastern US, where he worked with multiple Grammy Award-winning musical performers, cirque performance artists, and internationally acclaimed traditional artists. I oversaw all promotional and marketing of the events with successful combined attendance of over 100,000 patrons.

Initially I was hired to be the marketing assistant to the top industrial real estate broker in the company. During this time, I assisted in the sale or lease of multiple large asset real estate properties such as: a $30M Motorola chip factory, a 700,000 sq. ft. Gerber distribution facility, and many others. I was responsible for the preparation of marketing materials on the properties as well as the tracking of all available properties in the region and CRM tracking for the broker to use for sales. Later, I was promoted to be an industrial real estate broker responsible for securing listings and leases primarily.
