A Word From Our Client

“The Legacy Untold event was legendary. Mark, you truly have a gift for gathering an incredible circle of humans together, and hosting. Everyone I met was so interesting, kind, and had a beautiful spirit about them. My favorite part was your introductions and tidbits about each guest. Your words about One&Only and the Dian Fossey fund were on-point and so appreciated. Thank you so very much for your continued partnership and taking this project on.”
– Michael Foley, Regional Director, Sales & Marketing, Kerzner International (parent company of One&Only)
