Emcees Kellie Hall KELLIE HALL, A graduate of the United States Naval Academy in 2014, currently serves active duty as a Navy Lieutenant. Originally from Stafford, Virginia, life as a “Navy Brat” taught her to be outgoing, spontaneous, and adventurous after moving a total of nine times. Her career in the Navy led to a multitude of opportunities, to include a Western Pacific (WESTPAC) deployment in the summer of 2014 while stationed onboard USS PINCKNEY (DDG-91) out of San Diego, CA. Later Kellie was selected as a Human Resources Officer, which propelled her career in navy recruiting and public relations. This transition into Human Resources is what brought her to be stationed in Columbus, Ohio in fall of 2016—and ultimately what launched her start in MISS OHIO USA. Kellie first competed in MISS OHIO USA in 2016, her first-ever pageant, with the hope of making new friends after only living in Ohio for a month. It was this first competition she discovered her love for empowering others as well as pageantry. After two years of competing, Kellie walked away as 2x finalist at MISS OHIO USA and 2x “Miss Congeniality” winner. The juxtaposition of pageant competitor and Naval Lieutenant gained the attention of many because it “broke the stereotype” of what women in uniform and gowns had the capability to do. Since, Kellie has been featured in the upcoming Navy Documentary “Faces of the Fleet” as well as multiple segments on GOOD DAY COLUMBUS highlighting this very empowering female moment.

Currently, Kellie spends her time juggling multiple hats: an entrepreneur, Model at NV Models, Naval Officer, marketing and events lead for Bumble, and 2x Miss Congeniality at Miss Ohio USA. When Kellie is not busy working to connect others or recruit Navy Doctors, you can find her making time for her portrait photography business, traveling, sharing fashion tips, or driving in her yellow mini cooper.

Ohio Pageant Productions and Events currently have exposure in major cities around the nation such as New York City, Daytona Beach, Orlando, Austin, Columbus, Cincinnati, where he currently resides, and as far as Honolulu, Hawaii.

With the help of his new business partner, he hopes to expand the business to more areas and raise additional awareness of the pageant world and its many benefits such as empowering the young women of this country and providing them with multiple venues to achieve their dreams, as well as the global impact of spreading its messages of kindness, caring, and charity.

As you travel the pageant world, you may hear him speaking the aforementioned message of Positive Pageantry and its effects on today's youth and many generations to come.

He is an avid portrayer of living life to its fullest potential. He believes that young women who enter the pageant world, learn or expand their knowledge on how to overcome any obstacles in life, to reach that potential.
