Bio
Samantha (Sam) Cribari-Starr
I have had the privilege of working with Mike on a recent program with a very important client, under an extremely short planning timeline cycle. He jumped in fully with his can-do attitude approach on any request made to ensure the job got done. Ultimately with any vendor partnership, it is critical to be on the same page and develop a certain level of trust to ensure the program is successfully executed. He has an aptitude for understanding his clients and takes pride in what he does and it shows by the level of service he provides to ensure programs are effective, that's what makes him stand out from all other Production Managers. As someone who is a creative thinker and possesses a can-do attitude, Mike is a pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly for a production position for any organization that chooses to take benefit from his diverse skills.

I have worked with Mike on 9 shows over the last 4 years, both in his roles at PSAV and Molecular Media. From the very beginning he tackled our shows with professionalism and precision. He always takes the clients needs into account in the smallest details. Mike ensured continuity from show to show with frequent communications, understanding the expectations that we brought to him and in most cases he even brought in the same crew whenever available. Mike is an excellent Project Manager and I would definitely recommend working with him on any event.
