Bio
Jason Davenport
I recently had the pleasure to work with Tim and his team at Goodyear Ballpark. We were selected as the host site for the 2018 Arizona Balloon Classic. Tim was very organized and professional throughout the entire planning and execution phases of the event. This was a first time event for the City of Goodyear and it also required a high level of interdepartmental coordination. Tim and his colleagues went way above and beyond to ensure that everyone was comfortable with all aspects of the event. The festival wound up being a huge success and we can't thank you enough for bringing it to Goodyear Ballpark.
