Bio
Kimberly Tranter
What words can I use to describe Mr. Kinsner? Inquisitive, creative, dynamic, challenging, hard working, charming, visionary. I was so very fortunate to have John not only as a student in my classes, but also as a guest lecturer in my Revenue Management course. John always assumed the role of creative director in all of group projects, bringing a unique perspective to his team. As a returning, non-traditional student, John was able to incorporate much of his knowledge and experience from working in the professional music scene for years. He possesses very extensive and diverse expertise in entertainment and event management. He understands the psyche of both the performer and the audience, tailoring his message appropriately to each. I am delighted to endorse John as a talented entertainment and event professional who views the world from an exciting new set of lenses.

From first meeting John over 6 years ago, I have been so impressed with his drive and passion for the music industry. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has been such a great resource for information. His ability to not only recognize talent, but also keen business sense, completely separates him from all others. He is a pleasure to work with and upholds all the integrity of the industry. It is a true pleasure to know him as well as recommend him for his future endeavors.
