Jeff has always been fascinated by large events; the thrill of watching 1,000 plates be plated and served in 15min hooked him at an early age. Since joining the company in 2000, Jeff has excelled on the operations side of the business and drives development of systems and processes to solve the most complex logistical challenges while delivering a consistently high quality experience to our clients. On a national level, Jeff is recognized as one of the leading authorities on large scale events and how to create efficiencies and cost savings. Jeff has consulted on events in almost every state for clients including Live Nation, Subaru, the NFL, and Cook Medical.
