I am a strategic leader in experiential marketing, specializing at the intersection of high-stakes creative vision and disciplined operational systems. As Director of Experiential at STURDY. and Chief Experience Officer at MKB Consulting, I scale ambitious ideas into physical realities, ensuring every activation maintains structural integrity while commanding cultural authority. My work is defined by a commitment to foundational excellence—building repeatable playbooks that allow creativity to thrive without friction.
My 15-year career is rooted in a deep understanding of every dimension of the craft, from managing multi-million dollar budgets to leading production on festival floors. This foundation allows me to move fluently between the agency and client sides, connecting experiential strategy to tangible business outcomes and earned media. Beyond the logistics, I lead with a passion for building environments where credibility is felt before a single word is spoken. I believe the strongest events give people a reason to believe in a brand's narrative.
This vision is sustained by a dedication to people and team building. I focus on identifying and developing collaborative teams capable of executing complex, multi-market programs from scratch while maintaining internal infrastructure and vendor relationships. Based in Los Angeles, I bridge the gap between architectural precision and cultural influence, consistently leveling up the standard for what a modern executive producer can achieve.
Shaping the storytelling, audience flow, and high-impact guest experience. Bringing strategic thinking that links experiential programs to long-term brand and business goals, rather than just event delivery.
Building repeatable processes, governance, and operational standards. Navigating complex logistics and cross-functional teams to keep timelines, dependencies, and quality control perfectly on track.
Understanding precisely how experiential drives growth, loyalty, and brand value. Owning the budget, scopes of work, and return-on-investment decisions with an uncompromising commercial mindset.
These aren't positions I've taken for marketing purposes. They're the convictions that inform how I approach every brief, every client relationship, and every decision in a production. They've been refined by a career of watching what works and what doesn't when the strategy meets the room.
The document a client sends is a snapshot of what they believed on the day they wrote it. The actual brief is everything underneath it — the fear, the ambition, the internal politics, the thing they didn't know how to say. Reading the real brief is the first skill. Everything else follows from it.
You can advertise anything. You cannot fake what someone feels when they interact with your brand at the moment that matters most. The experience is the brand — everything else is the promise. Closing the gap between promise and experience is the actual work of strategy, and most of the industry is still treating the promise as the destination.
Audiences consume. Communities participate. The brands that last are the ones that make people feel like insiders rather than targets. The ShokzStar program isn't valuable because of reach — it's valuable because the people in it feel like they belong to something. That belonging is the asset. The content is the byproduct.
The best productions are the ones where nobody can see the seams. That invisibility is not an accident — it's the result of extraordinary operational precision working in service of the creative vision. A producer who treats logistics as beneath the work has missed the point. The logistics are the work. They are what makes the vision real instead of aspirational.
The Antigravity agent pipeline I've built handles research, RFP dissemination, SOW drafting, budget modeling, legal review, and timeline generation. It makes me faster, more consistent, and more thorough. It does not tell me what matters to a client, how to read a room, or when to push back. Those are judgment calls. They remain human. The point of building the pipeline is to protect the space where judgment happens — by clearing away everything it doesn't need to do.
Most agencies treat statements of work as administrative overhead. The best agencies treat them as strategy documents — artifacts that define the relationship, set the terms of accountability, and protect the work from scope creep before it starts. A well-written SOW is not a constraint on creativity. It's the container that makes creativity possible.
