Noted Accomplishments
After review of my recommendations and changes to the current event contract agreement currently in use, I collaborated
with the President, his team of legal counsel and trusted staff members, and drafted a much improved final version of the
event contract agreement to be used for all future events.
Reorganization of all pertinent event information into an easily managed System of enter as you go data entry and task
assignment/creation that promoted a higher level of accountability of employees and more insight into employee production
levels for management and the president. This system greatly increased company productivity and ultimately reduced man
hours and human error in data entry.
Strategically created a bidding war between local vendors for items and services we were in need of such as event security,
professional parking companies, equipment rentals, etc. Through relentless and aggressive negotiation I was able to
significantly reduce overhead costs compared to what was being spent currently and offer many more services in house
instead of referring them out. This increased the profitability of our events and made our venue more attractive to event
owners due to the "one stop shop" packages we could now offer.
In a 14 month span of leadership under the previous Director there had been a total of 3 events with an average attendance of
500 or less people, and after labor and materials the company was operating at a loss. Under my direction the company
jumped from 3 booked events in 1 year, to successfully booking and hosting 8 major events in 4 months with an average
turnout of 2,700 people and a net profit average of $10,000 to $15,000 per event.
Developed a new and improved parking plan with dedicated entry and exit plans, built in egress lanes for those wanting to
leave early, EMS and Law enforcement restricted access for emergency purposes, Provided event staff, volunteers and
handicapped participants closer access to event by dedicating parking closest to the event for them, created wider driving
lanes, turn around and drop off points that diverted traffic away from parking lots to prevent backups, added credit card lanes
for those without out cash, and through the use of a professional parking company successfully parked all events without any
problems. This new traffic pattern was reviewed and approved by the Sergeant of Chesapeake Police departments Traffic
division and has been used for every consecutive event after it was adopted. Plan also created parking spaces for an extra
3,000 cars on our property greatly increasing both net profits and the ability to host much larger events, thus generating more
revenue potential.
Received interest and had intense negotiations with the world’s largest Tough Man obstacle challenge and race, Tough
Mudder. Due to contract terms and no-compete clauses that would have limited our calendar availability we respectfully
declined their event, but this was a huge accomplishment and was the first Venue in Hampton Roads they have ever
negotiated with or even taken interest in and complimented us on our layout and parking arrangements compared to many
venues they have visited.
Set-up partnership with local non-profit organizations earning them an average $5,000-$6,000 donation per event from food
and beverage proceeds and donations during the event while also helping event organizers to obtain their Liquor License with
more ease by allowing the non-profit to obtain it. This was a win scenario that event owners and organizers really liked.
Greatly improved and redesigned:
Current wedding venue and reception information packet to add another revenue stream in-between events and
during slow times of the season.
Current Event Information packet with photos and intuitive maps of property,
Event Owner Farm House rental sheet included in Event information packets that offered Event Owners and their
staff lodging in the newly renovated historic farm house located on the property for an affordable cost in comparison
to the cost of local hotels, travel expenses and vehicle rentals.
Successfully hosted ,organized and directed the following Events during my tenure:
