The owner brought me to Summit, along with my extensive contacts from my university days (plus five artists), over from Joey Edmonds when they cut staff. My main task was to expand the college division by recruiting new schools and performers to add to their success booking corporate events, club entertainment, and private parties. I’m proud to say that in my five years at Summit I was able to book over $1 million in event revenue, which was more than half the company’s total gross revenue.Once I overcame the initial challenge of letting my network know where I landed and what Summit could do for them, things really took off.Of course it was fun to book and work directly with some big name celebrities and their renowned agencies such as (John Oliver, Jay Pharoah, Daniel Tosh) . I learned a lot from those high profile projects about the patience and depth required to successfully recruit, staff and manage large events.It’s really the relationships and engagement with anyone I encounter in my work as well as collaborating to organize and pull off the perfect fit for the client’s target audience that is the most gratifying and satisfying. Engagement is at the core of everything I do as a recruiter.Managing events inevitably has moments of stress, pressure, and troubleshooting. Having established trust and great communication with all my colleagues goes far in smoothing over bumps and fostering help and cooperation when problem solving and flexibility is required to surmount challenges.

~ Joey Edmonds, formerly of the comedy team Edmonds & Curley (featured on the Tonight Show and many late night shows and events across the US), created this talent agency after 14 years on the road performing. They represented 20-45 comedians and speakers during my tenure ~I was hired here after collaborating with this agency during my Student Activities and Residence Life Coordinator positions as a graduate and undergraduate student. I steadily grew through the ranks with increasing responsibility as I was mentored by Joey and his performers. I learned so much about the business from them – from the sales terminology of the market to successful consultative sales techniques to sell the artists, and effectively managing various types of personalities one encounters in this industry. In this formative decade, I really gained confidence in my abilities, how to effectively go to bat for my clients (performers and school reps), as well as myself while maintaining good relationships – priceless. And of course, I had to become ready for anything, and always be on my toes – you never know when a flight might get cancelled last minute, leaving the talent stranded, or a comedian might, for example, become affected by the high altitude of a mountain top venue & say something that, if he was joking, was hilarious, but if he wasn’t, well, ….was quite problematic! Learning to handle anything that came my way quickly became my forte – from necessity!A few highlights from my tenure here are winning Agency of the Year for NACA, 2 years back to back (1999 & 2000), and booking the #1 act at the NACA National Conference 3 consecutive years. It was a great ride!
