Meet Matt
With over fourteen years of experience in the events industry, I bring a detail-driven, creative, and people-first approach to every project I take on. My work has spanned the spectrum — from Broadway opening nights and high-profile galas to branded trade show activations and multi-city culinary events across the country. I’ve had the privilege of serving as Director of Events for Chef Daniel Boulud and Director of Special Events for New York Theatre Workshop, and I currently serve as Senior Event Producer with Purslane and the Oberon Group.
While I love the challenge of producing complex, large-scale experiences, what excites me most is the opportunity to create events that foster connection. I’ve partnered with organizations such as the Culinary Institute of America, BentoBox, the Art Institute, and Drexel University on thought-leadership panels and industry activations, helping to inspire and educate the next generation of hospitality professionals. Giving back to the community is a priority in my work, and I’ve collaborated with Food Bank For NYC and Careers Through Culinary Arts on pop-ups and regional events, as well as organized a bake sale with National Queer Theater in NYC to raise funds for the Ali Forney Center.
For me, event production is more than logistics — it’s about creating spaces where people can come together, celebrate, and connect in ways that are both meaningful and memorable. I believe the best events are those that feel effortless to the guest, even when they’re anything but behind the scenes. That’s where I come in: ensuring every detail is cared for, so the experience shines.
