I attended my first trade show when I was only ten years old. After having the time of my life working the show, I quickly realized that this was something I had a bright future in. The tagline for this particular show was "Whether you have a Big Zibit, or a Little Zibit, call Zig Zibit".  

As a little Zibit… 

I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, where I spent my early childhood years. In 2003, my family packed its bags and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. As a die-hard New England sports fan, I have been a part of 6 Super Bowls, 4 World Series, 1 NBA Finals, and 2 Stanley Cups.

As you may know, I have the same name as the CEO of Zig Zibit! Whether it was smashing homeruns playing wiffle ball, tickle monster during a spooky evening night, or traveling the world together, there’s no one else I would like to share a laugh with.

My mother is something special as I have always grown up to be a mama’s boy. She is one of the most impressive cooks that have landed on this earth, hands down! Along with being Zig Zibit’s utility player at the early stages of the business, she was a stay at home mother of three kids. I couldn’t be more thankful for you. 

That brings me to my two best friends… My brother Greg and sister Juliana! Greg graduated from Appalachian State while Juliana is currently attending NC State. We lovingly share two cute puppies, Max and Brady. 

As a Big Zibit…

This then led me to attending East Carolina University where I graduated with a business management and marketing degree. During my young years of attending college, I was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity along with playing baseball at East Carolina. 

One of my biggest accomplishments was being crowned 2017 World Champions! The East Carolina Club Baseball team as a whole was able to achieve a record breaking 5 consecutive appearances to the World Series. Playing sports has allowed me to work as a team to accomplish team goals, being easily coachable, and most importantly, making lifelong friends! 

Zig Zibit… 

So far the trade show industry has lived up to everything I have dreamed about. The team at Zig Zibit is incredibly strong, fun to work with, and always innovating! We are pursuing to be the envy of the trade show industry. I am excited to be a part of the growing sales team and extremely determined to drive new business.
