In addition to his role as a university instructor, he is also a guest speaker at several reputable business schools. He has also had the honor of acting as the official spokesperson for international athletic events including the PanAm Games in 2015 and the Invictus Games in 2017. In addition to his other endeavors, Ivan is a published author, having penned the book, “They Don’t Have to Be Naked: A New Approach to Public Speaking.”
When he’s able to find a spare moment, Ivan can be seen on the dance floor – or maybe the TV. He moonlights as a dance instructor and has also been a guest star on several TV shows, including Supernatural, Psyche, and Private Eyes, as well as in feature films like Share.

Passionate about all things events, Katherine has experience coordinating athletic races, galas for non-profit organizations, and even weddings!

Kristin has had a passion for coordinating events since she was a student in college. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she loves being the person who can “make it all happen,” even when there is a time crunch or last-minute change.
If Kristin had to pick which team building activity she enjoys coordinating the most, she would choose Minute To Win It. She loves how such a seemingly simple set of challenges can transform any ordinary meeting or conference into a wild, rambunctious gameshow. Plus, it’s the only team building activity that she knows of where people flip cookies off their faces!
When she’s not coordinating events, Kristin likes spending time with her close friends and family. She moved out of her parents’ house years ago, but she never went very far! Today, she lives just a few minutes away from her parents and her brother.
In her spare time, Kristin likes to take her dog on walks through the city, watch Netflix marathons, and tune into the latest sportsball games with her friends.
Growing up, Lyndsay was always curious about life and her surroundings. This passion for learning new things translated into Lyndsay spending her days as a young girl getting involved in many sports and going on adventures with her family. Ultimately, however, Lyndsay focused her curiosity on learning all she could in school and on the ice as a hockey player, which led to an athletic scholarship and Business Marketing degree.
After she finished school, Lyndsay’s next great adventure was one of global exploration. With only a backpack, she set off across North, South, and Central America, as well as Europe. Her experiences travelling gave her the well-known travel bug, and to this day, Lyndsay will jump at the chance to take off to somewhere she’s never been before.
Lyndsay is a firm believer that gratitude and a positive attitude are two things that can help guide you successfully through life. When not running events, you can find her practicing hot yoga, playing sports, eating tacos, hanging out with friends, or pampering her beloved golden retriever.
