Bio
Katharine Carol
Michael is highly organised, creative and has excellent people skills. He thinks out of the box, has strong trouble problem solving skills and is an invaluable team member. I highly recommend Michael.
Tori Owen
Michael always acted professionally and thought ahead of the game to anticipate problems and bring a project together that much easier.
Michele Emslie
I hired Michael as Production Manager for a large project for the Vancouver Olympics at a very late stage in our production schedule. This was cause for a stressful situation as a significant amount of work had to be completed in a short period of time. Michael's work throughout was exemplary. He worked with a large number of artists, producers and directors in a calm, respectful manner while managing and successfully meeting many crucial deadlines. He is extremely capable and knowledgeable in all areas of production management. I have no hesitations in endorsing his work.

Event management, production, and services since 2002. This work has taken me across Canada, as far away as Australia, and to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. The networks and skills associated with this work continue to be integrated in all that I do.
