Work with me.
Here. There. Wherever it needs to happen.
Work with me
Every gathering I design begins with intention — how it feels, how it flows, and what it leaves behind.
For over 30 years, I’ve brought together artists from 117 countries, building experiences that connect people across cultures through music, art, and place.
Now, I partner with leaders, organizations, and visionaries to create what comes next.
My work
Connecting cultures through music, art, and creative placemaking — in service of a more connected world.
I don’t just produce events.
I design ecosystems where people, ideas, and creativity meet in meaningful ways.
On a personal note
Over the course of my life, I’ve welcomed artists from 117 countries to Lake Eden.
My goal? To host an artist from every country in the world. Only 78 more to go!

Retreat &
Experience Design
Immersive. Intentional. Unforgettable.
At Lake Eden — a place I’ve stewarded for over 40 years — or anywhere in the world, I design gatherings that stay with people long after they leave.
I create and catalyze:
Corporate & leadership retreats
Board and staff immersions
Nonprofit strategy gatherings
Artist residencies & music camps
Private and family experiences
Cultural destination events
These are not “programmed events.” They are living experiences — shaped by music, art, environment, and human connection.
Come to Lake Eden for a deeply rooted, historic, creative setting.
Or I will meet you where your vision lives.
Production &
Strategic Infrastructure
Where vision meets execution.
For organizations needing deeper operational support, I partner with Leigh Maher to bring structure to complexity.
Together, we offer:
Full-scale event production & management
Emergency and risk planning
Financial systems and oversight (CFO-level)
Technical and database infrastructure
This is where bold ideas become sustainable, scalable realities.
Consulting & Coaching
Clarity. Direction. Momentum.
Whether you’re an individual leader or an organization in transition, I help you see what’s possible — and build toward it.
With 30+ years of festival leadership and cultural entrepreneurship, I support you to:
Clarify and refine your mission
Activate your next level of growth
Identify and align strategic partnerships
Elevate your event and experience design
Integrate music, art, and food into meaningful programming
Recognize hidden assets within your community
We connect resources.
We unlock potential.
We build what’s next — together.
