Tacoma Tall Ships Festival: “I have always admired Brett’s work and his down-to-earth approach to events and revenue development. Then as the Executive Director for Tacoma Tall Ships in 2008, I had the privilege of partnering with him and of course awarded him with a blue-sky revenue goal. Not surprisingly, Brett nearly doubled the cash goal and then incredibly and unexpectedly earned almost $1M of budget reducing in-kind contributions. He nearly single-handedly made this large regional celebration possible. I’m Brett’s biggest fan.”

— David Doxtater, Producer - The Workshop

SponsorSource: “You truly have been among the best sponsorship sales people we’ve worked with.  Your ability to have quick answers, have prompt call backs, and overall be incredibly competent when it comes to your events, reasonable whenever an issue has come up and super strong on how to make clients happy (which is a tall task even in good times) is unmatched.  And that’s saying a lot given we’re dealing with more than a ½ billion attendees among event and venue partners.”
