Dynamic professional with extensive experience in operations management and client relationship management. As Owner/Operator of Funk You, Inc., I successfully produced over 400 events, showcasing strong marketing strategy development. Proven track record in sales negotiation and inventory management, driving significant engagement with a Facebook audience of 20,000 views monthly.
I started a music event production and promotion company in 2009. We have completed around 400 events since that time, including 110 events in a 12 month period before Covid hit in 2020. Since then we have been doing a monthly event, for which I am responsible for all talent bookings, hotel and travel plans, venue logistics including sound and layout, and all social media and marketing. Currently our Facebook page attracts upwards of 20,000 views on average every 28 days. I am solely responsible for contacting venues and owners and building new clients. I manage all of this on the weekend, this company does not interfere with my weekly career.
My primary responsibility was managing the kitchen, which included ordering from Gordon's for everything from the standard kitchen needs to large banquets. I am very familiar with Gordon's catalog and how to order from it, and I feel this specifically would be relevant to my application. The head chef focused on banquets mostly, so I was in charge of the country club's kitchen, including employee tasks like hiring, dismissing, and team building.
Higher end meal service line cook. Left Trolley to pursue a better position at the county club. Managed daily inventory and stocking duties, as well as all prep work needed for the line before the shift started.
As a solar salesman I had all of Indiana as my territory. I completed multiple sites, including personal homes, businesses, and some small town power grids. My job was to find sales across the state, attain funding for them, and complete the process with our field team.
1601 was a night club which Funk You, Inc took residency at and managed all operations within. During that time, I booked more than 200 shows at the venue. All promotions, social media, concierge services for guest performers from all over the world, and sound and lighting were provided by myself and my team.
