Dennis is the former Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer of Septien Entertainment Group - the #1 Music Artist Development Studio in the US.

“Nobody has sold more tickets to more live events – NOBODY!”

"I plan and execute live interactive multimedia programs for clients who want to bring their brands to consumers in unique, multisensory, relevant and memorable ways - designing, developing, managing and flawlessly executing experiential programs that engage, motivate and inspire - connecting with consumers through their passions and interests."

"From the theatrical to the practical, a single speaker to a symphony orchestra, hundreds of performers simultaneously juggling power tools while riding unicycles, suspending seventy-five feet long dragon kites from the ceiling of a 10 story atrium, to projecting laser/animated images onto the sides of buildings."

“I bring a little magic to each and every event and to every second of multimedia content I produce.”
