Engaged Member of the Month

How did you become involved in MPI?
I have been unofficially been involved with MPI for many years, but I officially joined 6 years ago when I started with Topgolf in Wood Dale.

What has been the most exciting moment or memorable thing that has happened since joining MPI?
Outside of the amazing connections I have made?  Topgolf has been honored to host many MPI events including the Spring Golf Clinic and the Spring Education Program.  As a suburban professional, I’m happy to bring the benefits of MPI membership to the ‘burbs.   I was also lucky enough to hear Michael Hahn (Hero Habits) speak at MPI NEXT’17.  Michael and I have done several exciting and educational events together since then.

How did you become part of the event industry?
I started years ago with the Walter Payton’s Entertainment One concepts.  I was hired the day after I graduated from UIC.

How has MPI impacted your career?
Many of the contacts I’ve made have evolved into lifelong friendships.  I treasure my friends and connections I’ve made during my membership with MPI.  Each person offers a new unique perspective, and one can learn and grow with each new interaction.  

Tell us something unique about you?
I’ve worked at Topgolf and although I play Topgolf all the time, I’ve never played the game of golf on a green grass course – ever!
