My wife, Krista, and I live in southwest Florida, and have been working with CKE for about 10 years and have loved every event we’ve worked. I always look forward the next event wherever it may take me.

I have had the pleasure of being a Program Manager for Corporate Kids Events for over 13 years. Kids are my passion and it has truly been a joy seeing the same kids in program grow year after year. Spending time with these wonderful kids has also helped me become a better educator, leader and person overall.

I have worked for CKE for 9 years now, I started off as a staff member where I got to create the best crafts, play the funnest games and meet some incredible kids. I have been a program manager for the last 4 years, within those 4 years I have traveled to different cities and states managing events, its always an adventure with CKE, which I love! Its been a blessing to create a fun environment for the kids at each event seeing their smiles and hearing them laugh is the absolute best!!!
