Taking a step back, what made you what made you get interested in in all that back in college?

Even going back like when I went in in high school I was always the guy who organized the party I was the one who organized and rented my father's friends sample sale store and moved all the clothing racks to the back, ordered a drape and booked a DJ for New Year’s Eve And, when someone challenged me to just you know Dj party for them I’d just figure it out – I consider myself a

“solution person ”

What’s the key factor to draw people into a virtual event?

To explore a world, they would not be able to in real life. So, we ' re not rendering a traditional theater space and want to take you out of your computer and current state of mind

How did you scale the business up to where you are now?

I am a hustler - a true New Yorker! I don't give up and I don't take no for an answer but, more than that it's that I believe in the energy you surround yourself with and if you believe the energy is positive, you bring that positivity to the people around you Events is the perfect platform for someone who lives and breathes celebrating life every day I lost my parents at a young age, so live in the moment because you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow. The looks on people’s faces during my event is what keeps me highly driven and motivated

Regarding the corporate side, what’s your vision for virtual meetings/events?What type of out of the box ideals come to mind?

So……..the pain is real, ha. If a company is putting on a corporate event, they need to determine who the audience is and what is the reason for the event/meeting. If it’s not good, it’s probably better not to do anything at all

It’s been a challenging year for everyone. How do you combat fear of the unknown in business and your personal life?

What is your personal motto and from where do you pull your inspiration?

My yearbook quote was “ carpe diem” My father was a great dad to me and to everyone around I pull from my mother and father who loved life and celebrating each day and each other – we are lucky overall
