The Chicago native has worked in the event and touring industries for the last 14 years, producing live events and tours in the United States and throughout the world.
Early in 2004, he founded EventJoe, an event and tour management company based in Las Vegas and Chicago. Joe has spent the last four years traveling the world while managing responsibilities for multiple clients and artists. He has logged more than 1000 tour stops, working on live events and shows such as the 2005 Billboard Music Awards, The Good Vibrations 2006 Australian Tour, The Police 2007 Summer Tour, Operation MySpace Kuwait as well as many other projects.
Prior to launching his company, Joe spent four years in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. As production manager for Triumph Entertainment, he coordinated live events and fashion shows for designers such as Paul Frank, Zach Posen, and Perry Ellis. While serving as special events manager at the world-famous entertainment destination Fremont Street Experience, he managed hundreds of concerts, festivals, commercials, music videos, movies and television shows for artists and directors such as the Flaming Lips, Ridely Scott’s BMW films, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and American Idol. At Bill Silva Management, Joe spent his time on the road working on national tours with artists such as Jason Mraz and Unwritten Law.
Joe is a graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, having earned his bachelors degree in Hotel and Entertainment Management. During his time at UNLV he coordinated live events, concerts and festivals, created relationships with local and national sponsors, and taught classes at UNLV on festival management. On sabbatical following his junior year, he moved to China to work in a five-star hotel producing events and assisting with the management of Nanjing’s hot spot the Golden Eagle Plaza Hotel.
With a lifelong interest in music and entertainment and an entrepreneurial spirit, Joe’s foundation for the business came from working for an entertainment production company during his high school years in Chicago. During this time he worked on events throughout the Chicago land area for organizations such as the Chicago Cubs and the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.
After several years of gaining experience his desire to become an entrepreneur eventually propelled him to start his own business. He knew that in order to follow his dream, he needed to embrace his two passions of event managing and touring, so he started EventJoe.
