About Me

I have been in this crazy business of Trade Shows & Conventions for a it seems lifetime already. You see, I am a 2nd generation trade show contractor. This means from the time I was a toddler I was walking the show floor and traveling the country.

Born and raised in South Florida, I then ventured out to see the world. I joined the United States Marine Corps at 18. I was a jet engine mechanic on the FA-18 Hornet. This was a very exciting time for me because I was able to take a boat trip (USS Enterprise) to the Mediterranean Sea and visits lots of countries in Europe and Asia.

After my 4 years, my heart brought me back home to follow in my father's footsteps. Once I got out on the show floor producing trade shows I was hooked. I love to learn a little about everything, so where better to do it then being a part of any and every industry there is.

Why do I love it? Good question. I love the stress of coordinating so many things and having it all come together rapidly in front of your face. I love when I am challenged to fix a problem when everyone thinks all hope is lost.

I am currently the General Manager of EXPO Convention Contractors, Inc. We are a family-owned and operated company small enough to be personable yet large enough to be exceptional. With over 50 employees in-house at all times, including a highly experienced management and sales team, we are available to service shows throughout the nation. We pride ourselves on exceptional service and our "can do" attitude.

My goal with my blog is to entertain you through the eyes of someone who loves what they do. Even if it is as chaotic as the convention & trade show industry.
