Originally from a small town outside of Asheville, North Carolina, I attended the University of Southern California from '94 - '98 and subsequently accepted a full time position in the University Public Relations department. For the next eight years I facilitated and supervised print, commercial, television, and film production on the university campus. I determined in which productions the university would and would not appear, and then I negotiated the necessary contracts. With several years of legal, logistical, and liaison experience in under my belt, I co-founded Encompass Management with fellow alum David Holmes, a good friend and Business/Marketing major. The company, which would eventually become Encompass PR, was originally founded with the particular purpose of media event planning and management. Utilizing our respective talents in management and marketing, we soon found ourselves helping to develop business interests for a diverse group of friends and associates. In
