“Brian is a hands on businessman who is focused on the
task at hand. I explained my desire to bring more patrons to my
venues, in a matter of 24 hours he proposed a plan, I approved
it and within a few hours he made it happen. That's how he
operates no drama and no nonsense. In a matter of a month my
internet traffic doubled and my phone inquires haven't stopped.
I have since hired Brian to handle the promotion for all my
venues.Simply said "he's the best in the business" I
highly recommend him!
Butch Yamali
(President The Dover Group of New York)
“Brian is a no-nonsense businessman who knows what he's
doing. In 2003, I had a loser nightclub on my hands. I hired
Brian to do a re-launch. His strategies breathed new life into
my business, making it possible for me to sell it and move on. I
recently opened a Night Club in San Juan, PR, and I used some of
those very same concepts that Brian taught me. The club in San
Juan is now the largest dispenser of liquor on the entire island
of Puerto Rico. I attribute much of the bars success to the
value of the wisdom that Brian shared with me. Please don't
hesitate to call of you have any questions.”
Ray Halderman
(Night club Owner, of multiple Venues in Miami, West
Palm Beach & Puerto Rico)

project entails with a single-minded focus. If you're able to

goes the extra mile for all his clients.”

friend.”

of evolution in Vero Beach, Florida. In a small town Brian hit
the town by storm and packed out 1300 people in the first hour
of its operation. The people who couldn't get in went to all the
other bars and clubs in Vero Beach that are usually dead. Brian
packed out a whole town!”

taking over the operating duties of a struggling venue in San

since then have moved on to become general manager of a major
club.

their events deliver high quality nightlife experiences and
handle their partners and customers in a very professional
manner."
(Brock Ganeles, CEO NiteTables Inc)
Brian is a brilliant strategist and tireless worker who I have
the utmost respect for. Brian and I first worked together back
in the 1990's and his passion and talent was evident
immediately. His relentless determination even then to be the
best was obvious and as such he rose through the ranks
immediately and that path that he put himself on continues
today. His desire to be the best in the nightclub business was
obvious then and it remains today. His ability to understand
concepts and philosophies and then articulate them to minds not
as complex as his own is also second to none. On a personal
level Brian is an honest, hardworking, high character individual
and I am extremely pleased to be able to compose this
testimonial today. He is more than well deserving of all his
success as no one works harder than he does.
(Joey "X" Curcio Former Nightclub Marketing Director
NYC)
