Day to Day

I arrive to coworkers that I truly enjoy being surrounded by, I check and get caught up on emails then my day can range from going to race sites, filling out permits, organizing the race trailer to meeting with the city police. A great day at work for me is race site day, I spend the day outside designing in my head what and where things will go and happen. We figure out how to create the best experience for our participants that we possibly can.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for college students

Network. It is all about who you know next to what you know. Calling and emailing people that have careers that sound interesting and learning everything you can from them. Volunteer to show those people what you can do, hard workers are hard to find so show up to impress.
