Because it’s time
you put you first.

“Troy has been an incredibly integral part of my journey
as an entrepreneur.”

Why Me?

I realize you may need some background, numbers, even struggles, to start the conversation of why I’d be a great business coach for you in the event industry. Here’s a start:

I’ve grown my business an average of 55% PER YEAR for the last decade using the strategies, tools & techniques I’ll teach you. During the pandemic, I even doubled my payroll and still operated at 75% of goal.

I’ve spent 30 years in the industry, over 10 operating a multi-op DJ business that’s ranked Top-10 nationally in reviews. I’m one of 35 pros trusted by The Knot Worldwide to represent them and educate wedding pros. I’ve spoken for the top conferences and organizations in our industry. And I’ve been named one of the 500 most influential event pros in the US. But I also get the pain and struggle.

I’ve missed big moments because I had to work an event. I’ve wondered where the money was coming from. I’ve had tough clients, tough conversations, and gut-wrenching moments. But I’ve also had great mentors, learned priceless lessons, and built a coaching platform to pay it forward in the process. Let me start earning your trust and helping you achieve your goals through better business design. ~Troy
