Event Planning with a touch of
Cowboy Charm
From cattle shows to hospitality and community events, I bring a do-it-yourself, no-nonsense approach to getting the job done. Being familiar with heavy lifting, equipment operation, set-up and take-down, and livestock management, I thrive out of the limelight getting the hard work done and keeping everyone safe. When its time for the hard work to begin - loading equipment, repair work on the fly, or managing livestock — I can get it done.
About Me
I grew up in Deer Park, Texas, and spent my time split between two worlds — ranching and livestock and the event industry. On one hand, I was always working ranching and livestock, learning about the value of hard work by breaking horses and working cattle. On the other, I grew up watching my mom work for one of Houston's top caterers. She brought that job home with her, and before long I was helping plan family weddings, church events, and FFA functions at a very young age.
That combination of hands-on, not afraid of dirt work and event planning has stayed with me ever since. I have been a part of all manner of events over the years — FFA banquets, horse and livestock displays, church camps, corporate hunting trips, vacation Bible school, fraternity events, charity functions, and weddings. Setup, take-down, and holding things together in the background are all things that I am intimately familiar with if an event is to be successful. If I can work cows in rain and deliver feed through a foot of snow, you should know that I'll arrive at your event on schedule and ready to work.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in the outdoors with my Labrador retriever, Duke, hunting and fishing, and reaping all benefits of country life. I appreciate hands-on, good working conditions, and doing things for right to get good results — either on the pasture or at the events.
