PROBLEM SOLVER
Turning "Okay" to "Great!"

Robert's help was enlisted when important elements were not coming together on projects ranging from a company’s national convention to a Music City fundraising event.  His dexterity for thinking quick on his feet and managing with solid steps delivered outstanding results.   One executive told Robert, "I don't know how you pulled it off, but thank you!"   In each case the gut instincts of an entrepreneur, the discipline of a born planner and a lifetime of business experience turned, "I'm not so sure this can happen..."   into stellar successes


Robert's know-how and involvement get "thumbs up" from a grateful Red Roof Inn executive and all parties involved with the T.J. Martell fundraiser.

EVENTS

Robert's event-planning skills placed Waves, Inc., in the community spotlight for nine consecutive days during the Williamson County Fair. He did this by planning the event, organizing, recruiting 99 people (many first-time volunteers) and managing a Pepsi kiosk at an event attended over 160,000 people.
