• President / Executive Director

  The Northwest Entertainment Foundation was created in 2004 as a non-profit society that is most notably recognized for producing the Victoria Electronic Music Festival (VEMF). This annual event was designed to attract leading industry professionals, musical talent, sponsors and consumers to a premiere music festival in British Columbia. Under my leadership, VEMF won multiple awards (including Monday Magazine's consumers choice award for "favorite annual event"), and maintained an annual growth rate of 20%. In my final year (9th annual) VEMF 2012 attracted 25,000 event goers to its 2-day simultaneous operation of 8 venues per day. As the Executive Producer of VEMF and president of NWEF, my primary duties included: big picture development, operational planning, budgeting, grant writing, sponsorship acquisitions, government relations, licensing, artist bookings, marketing, media and overall leadership of 25 staff and 100 volunteers.
