The following pages outline a few examples of projects I’ve worked on,
businesses grown, lives touched, and Brothers reunited. There are
projects that are not included in this portfolio, as my goal was to provide
a sample of my experience for your reference.
Let’s face it, I’d rather talk to you in person about this opportunity!
This serves as a means to our personal introduction.
Until then,

3. FIFTH THIRD BANK
Association of Financial Professionals / October 2012 / Miami, FL
Page | 3
Of the hundreds of shows I planned for our clients, this was one of my favorites.
The annual Association of Financial Professionals show presented many exciting
challenges as we strived to add a contemporary theme with a focus on technology,
reflecting Fifth Third Bank’s new mobile app release. The 20x30’ exhibit featured a
7’ video wall, custom etched glass, gel infused floor tiles, in-booth audio,
conference room, color changing LED uplights, and iPad stations.

I’ve always believed in finding ways to improve a process, idea, or a
concept; even the ones that have ‘worked’ in the past. The above
images were one of the first projects I spear-headed with our Service
Manager. When it came to planning our client’s trade shows, I knew
there was a better way. The form above is a sample of what I put
together to better serve our clients.

“Carmen did an outstanding job as the DJ/Master of Ceremonies for
my son's wedding, Prior to the wedding, he communicated with us
several times to confirm the details of the event and to ensure he had
the music we wanted him to play. He even went out of his way to get the
special song I wanted for the mother/son dance. On the day of the
wedding he had all of his equipment set up and ready to go when we
arrived for the reception. His enthusiasm added a wonderful energy
throughout the evening as he coordinated and conducted all of the
events perfectly. Carmen's attention to detail and his upbeat personality
made for a wonderful and memorable wedding day for our family. I would
highly recommend him!” Polly T.

"Carmen was amazing to work with for our special day! He was very
approachable and provided us with a lot of great ideas. He made the
process so easy in regards to song choices, timeline, and announcements.
Carmen is very organized and knows what he is doing! He played an
AMAZING selection of music at our reception and had the guests dancing
the entire time! He also did a great job announcing the bridal party and
creating our walk out mix! I can't thank him enough for all of his hard work
into planning our special day!" - Brittany S.
7. CINCINNATI DANCE MARATHON
“The Chance of a Lifetime to Give a Lifetime a Chance”
In 2009, one of the fastest-growing, student-led, philanthropy events in the nation took root
at the University of Cincinnati. Cincinnati Dance Marathon (CDM) worked to raise funds for
the Champions Program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Over 400
students, faculty, and staff came together for 24 hours to dance for those fighting life-
threatening illnesses. From coordinating sponsors and food donations to creating unique
marketing blitzes and campaigns, we created one of UC’s newest traditions.
We danced. We laughed. We loved. Page | 7

8. BEARCAT LIVE!
The Flagship Concert to Kickoff the School Year
Bearcat Live! is an annual concert held at the University of Cincinnati the Friday of
Welcome Week. The concert’s headliners have ranged from Blessid Union of Souls, Sister
Hazel, Story of the Year, Sugar Ray, and many other popular artists and music groups. I
worked with a group of students to plan, promote, and execute the event complete with
merchandise tents, student group tents, beer trucks (& permits), food, and more. My
background in the theater production industry enabled me to teach students about live
sound, lighting, staging, and projection while collaborating with our local rental house.
Most shows I also operated the lighting console. Page | 8
9. PI KAPPA ALPHA CENTENNIAL
100 years of Alpha Xi Chapter at UC
In 2010, the Alpha Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha hosted a Centennial Celebration to
reunite over 400 Brothers to celebrate a legacy. Special guests included members of the
International Fraternity’s executive committee and the UC Bearcat and cheer team
helped kick off the exciting event. This was a brotherhood event for the record books!
