My corporate meeting production management experience and serious commitment to excellence will bring many talents and skills to your organization that would complement your team. With a strong background in photography and design coupled with the knowledge that every show has to make business sense, I've spent the last 25 years working in almost every facet of this industry. Please explore my online professional resumé and sample the images that represent a fraction of the shows that I have produced or managed. I am seeking a long term commitment and look forward to hearing from you.
