Bio
John Palazzolo (Hammer)
My grandmother would have loved Jon; she always talked about the value of patience. Jon has the unique ability to take a fast moving program and be patient with the public, employees and even the process itself. Ultimately, he knows that the best events are successful when the pre-planning is followed. Jon does his homework before getting on site, making the event look easy to clients and guests. Of course, we all know it's NOT easy and that's what's so impressive!
Arne Hull
Jon is an experienced marketing pro. Cool under pressure. Conceptual, collaborative and practical when it is needed. He has a fantastic work ethic, and strives to make the best of every situation. He is wise, and efficient, and works well with others - a true team player. I knew everything would work out if Jon was involved. Any long term relationship needs to be well-rounded, and I enjoyed him personally as well. Jon is a good man.
