Bio
Rick B. Larsen
For those who create major events, you are looking for specific skills in the person who holds the very flow and execution of the show in their hands: focus, leadership, problem solving, creativity, organization, poise, decisiveness and reliability. Take all of that and add in that she is a pleasure to work with and calms every nerve with her preparation and execution, and that sums up working with Karah Crosby. I recommend her without reservation and for the most demanding of projects.

I had the pleasure of working with Karah Crosby for a large educational event our firm organized in January (2015) at Abravanel Hall, which featured presentations from the two founders of our firm, Governor Gary Herbert, and the former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney. Karah worked as the show producer of our event. Karah has an incredible attention for detail. She also has a can-do attitude and was very helpful in ensuring our vision for the event became a reality. Perhaps Karah's best asset is her familiarity with the A - Z of event production. Karah is very familiar with what it takes to coordinate and produce an event, from the AV needs to logistics. She has everything covered. We enjoyed working with Karah because, in addition to being very kind, she is a true professional. She takes pride in her work, she does a fantastic job, and she produces great product.
