Pittsburgh and Sonoma. Upcoming events are slated for Portland, Seattle, Austin, Chicago and Washington, D.C. Drawing from an enormous (and ever-growing) database, Green creates the personalized, all-inclusive events for his clients based on what they want to do, and is quick to mention he’s never done the same trip twice. “Each trip is custom-made for the client to ensure they have an experience that resonates with them personally, which makes it all the more special and memorable.” After a massive scavenger hunt in Little Tokyo, a kosher lunch on a hidden patio downtown with a New York feel and an escape room adventure, the kids are tuckered out, but happy after their six-hour adventure. They are even happier when the bus pulls back into the meeting spot where there is an ice cream truck waiting for them. Eating their soft serve together, mother and daughter are all smiles. “Dave nailed it,” says Wendi. “He spent a lot of time on the phone with me and David, my husband, to get it right. I was surprised he wanted speak with Sarah, too.” Green walks by and Sarah – who is already wearing the custom-made shirt she helped design – gives him a big hug. “Thanks for making this a really memorable day for me! Seriously, that was amazing!” she says, before running over to hang with friends and take more selfies. Wendi adds, “To me the best part is that Dave acted as our concierge to book everything for the event. All we did was show up! How great is that?”
