The Story So Far: 

For nearly two decades I was privileged to produce events for Madison Square Garden in New York City, one of the busiest and most respected Live Event venues on the planet.
Working for MSG I operated within an exceptionally dense working calendar.  Each year saw an average of 400 Major events and 1600 function events a year, multiple overlapping projects were a way of life, not an occasional thing.  This density of events helped refine an exceptional tool-kit of production experience.  With time being the sole limiter on how many events are possible, a well designed production process and a workflow refined to the minimum effective steps; creates a maximum output of content.
Everyday was spent Making History at MSG and seldom was that more evident than with Special Events I was asked to help make reality.  Often these one of a kind events were created from a spark of inspiration and culminating with world wide attention.
The list includes A Papal Mass with Pope Francis in 2015; (ask me about solving the communion conundrum for 20,000 guests), 121212 – The Concert for Sandy Relief which was conceived only 4 weeks before broadcasting live around the world with its multitude of headline performances and its cavalcade of “A” list stars, The Rock and Roll Hall Fame 25th Anniversary Concert, The Grammy Awards, The Country Music Awards, the NBA All Star Game and dozens more over my  career  with MSG.  From Concerts to Broadcast Upfronts, Original Theatrical Productions to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, I have worked on thousands of live events large and small.
