Todd brings more than 28 years of experience in the live event and trade show industry to the table. He co-founded Cornerstone in 1995 to follow his passion for the technology that goes into creating a live event. He has earned a sterling reputation for his focus on serving the needs of the client and delivering on their vision.

Chad boasts more than 27 years of experience, including 25 at the helm of Cornerstone. Truly a business and creative genius, he is uniquely qualified to help companies leverage the right technology for their creative messaging requirements.

Over her 15 years in the industry her clients will attest, she is their greatest advocate and focused on making their vision and goals a reality. Cori Lynn loves working hand-in-hand with those clients to create amazing experiences.

Clint is something of a unicorn in live event production. As Cornerstone’s Sr. Account Executive, he’s focused on making sure the customer’s needs are met. He listens. He verifies. Then he makes sure it happens.

For over 21 years Clint has helped managed Cornerstone’s largest events. He has the technical expertise to understand your event’s technical infrastructure and the creativity to solve problems in real-time.

Matt has been project manager for over 25 years, including background in construction, IT, and audio-visual.

He’s a proud veteran of the United States Marines Corps.

After 25 years in the industry, Tom has worn a lot of hats. Thing is, most of them fit really well. He’ll help you book a Santy Claus for your holiday party or negotiate a seven-figure deal for a headline artist to entertain your guests. Like most people, he learned to write in the 2nd Grade; unlike most people, he’s spent considerable time since then honing his craft. And he’s adept at producing events – whether live or, as he likes to say (and so he does), “plausibly” live. The only word not in his vocabulary? “No.” If you need something, he’ll figure a way to get it done.

Some people live in past, others the moment. Matt is that guy who’s always thinking three or four steps ahead. Decades of experience in all facets of the industry. The genius behind many
of the technological innovations keeping Cornerstone ahead of the pack. And the absolute last person you want to face in a free-style rap contest.
