Pillar 01
Live Execution
Performs under pressure, in real time, with people watching.
Before I build anything, I run the live event. This is where the operator instinct comes from — reading a room, adjusting on the fly, no do-overs. Every tool inBuilder traces back to a night like these.
DJ / MC & day-of coordinator — Complete Weddings + Events
Runs 25–40 live weddings and events a year — 120+ completedacross central Indiana — reading the floor and adjusting song flow in real time rather than running a fixed playlist. Often doubles as day-of coordinator: primary point of contact on the timeline, orchestrating 2–5 vendors per event so the night stays seamless. Crowds run 100–250 guests, the largest 1,000, at venues including The Omni, Ritz Charles, Regions Tower, and Laurel Hall.

Fight-sport content — BKFC
Produces fighter interview content and shoot plans under event-day time pressure for BKFC athletes Cameron “Jumpman” VanCamp and Damien Black (Indy Boxing and Grappling). Nashville media-credential research in progress.
Olympic weightlifting
Competes in and films USAW-sanctioned weightlifting meets, working IWF-rule live scoring and broadcast logistics. That deep rules familiarity is exactly what madeMind Games possible — the live experience fed the software.
Operations at scale — before the events
The live-event instinct didn’t come from nowhere. It was built on years of high-throughput operations where the same rules apply — volume, deadlines, and a team that has to stay in sync.
- Amazon (DIN1 + Return Center) — coordinated same-day delivery and returns across teams of 25–50, moving up to ~25,000 packages a day, and trained new associates on the logistics and scanner systems.
- Quickship Brands — ran a returns-and-repair line underR2 V3 e-waste compliance: disposition decisions, electronics diagnostics and repair, secure data erasure, and fraud verification on eBay return claims.
- The Mill Top — coordinated up to 3 simultaneous events(100–250 guests each) and executed full room flips between them in under 15 minutes.
This is the operations spine behind the AGM chapter — the same execute-under-pressure profile, applied to logistics and teams rather than a dance floor.
