Inspiring, flawless, leaving places better than when you arrived – those are all of the elements that make a great event experience. As a person who attends sporting events with my family, participates in local 5k/10k and half marathons and attends other live events, I have a heightened appreciation for when it’s a memorable yet un-eventful event. For well over a decade I have been the person who works behind the scenes to make these types of experiences operate efficiently, I make sure that people are safe, that the community knows what to expect and then the experience exceeds those expectations, that the competitors or artists have an optimal setting to perform, that ultimately the people who come to attend the events I organize walk away inspired, happy and fulfilled.I have called the city of Los Angeles home for most of my adult life and throughout my career as VP of Event Operations I have produced dynamic large-scale participatory and spectator events that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people to experience a variety of household name brands, teams and artists. I have collaborated with notable clients to bring complex event plans to life, guiding them through the processes from start to finish. Notable clients and partnerships include: Red Bull, Nike, MLB, LA Dodgers, LA Clippers, LA Rams, Ironman and Hard Rock Cafe. Throughout my career I have managed teams, big and small, and have built incredible relationships and trust within the local community and am passionate about delivering custom, flawless experiences that bring people together.While I excel at event operations and event production, it is the relationships I have spent years developing that not only fulfill me, but really allow me to take the events I produce to the next level. Outside of my day-to-day work hours, I am an active board member with Pershing Square (Los Angeles Recreation & Parks Dept.) and enjoy creating and implementing programming for the local communities throughout downtown Los Angeles. In addition, I have the pleasure of investing my time into projects that support local charities like My Friend's Place, A Place Called Home, Art Share LA, and Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation.
