I’m the Principal and COO of MJMeetings.
People often wonder what I do for MJMeetings. If you really want to know, I’ll sit down and tell you sometime.
In short, I’m the utility player for our business. My roles and responsibilities include: Brand Ambassador, Financial Management, Engagement Concierge, Sales, Account Management, Consulting, Accounting, IT, Figuring out how to survive global pandemics, and honestly whatever else needs to get done for the business.
We started this business because we wanted to build something we could be proud of that would give us the freedom to put our expertise to work…on our own terms.
Our culture is one of transparency and a commitment to doing the right thing every time…all the time.
I’ve often told Missy that she’s the Taylor Swift of Meeting Planning. And I of course would be Travis Kelce. My job is to do everything in my power to free her up to do what she does best…put on incredible meetings and events for our clients.

Ⓜ The hardest thing about perspective is keeping it.
Ⓜ Ignoring your instincts is the quickest path to regret.
Ⓜ Get up early. The sunrise is waiting for you.
Ⓜ You don’t have to do it like everyone else does. That’s for sheep. Be a lion.
Ⓜ Listen to the voice in your head telling you to reach out to people who’ve been on your mind. There’s magic in those moments.
