Bruce Bayne 🚀

I have worked with many people over the years and some stick out in my mind. Rod Pratt is one of those people...his attention to detail and commitment to his word was extremely important in my decision making process as I was about to hand over big budgets to Rod. He does what he says....and says what he does. He is like a -one stop shop- when it comes to event planning because of his vast resources and I would recommend him without concern to any organization looking for someone who does the job from A to B.
