Career Path
Looking back, many roads intersected for me to find Experiential and Event Marketing.
Small contributing factors such as playing with LEGO or Lincoln Logs can be cited as important influencers. Other paths include studying Architecture, Art and working for a family owned metal fabrication company. Even further was founding an agency promoting weekly nightlife events while living in Myrtle Beach during undergrad.
As I grew in my career my diversified interests were able to develop and mature. Managing programs while overseeing budgets, sponsorships, consumer activations and corporate engagements for a variety of brands.
Furthermore, growing accounts organically and pitching new business on occasion allowed me to evolve my role as agency business thrived. Stepping into concept development, creative strategy and productions allowed me to touch a greater number of consumers and clients.
My experience and background allow me to bridge the gap between render to reality we strive for within our industry.
